Jack Bauerle, recently retired Tom Cousins Swimming and Diving Head Coach, has been selected to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award by the executive board of the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).
This award is presented to the individual whose efforts best exemplify the integrity and ideals of collegiate swimming and who has achieved significant success in the sport while imparting the educational and character-building qualities of the collegiate swimming experience.
