Tim Wise has been named an assistant coach for the University of Connecticut mens and womens swimming and diving program. Wise has been a staple in Connecticut swimming for years, most recently serving as the head coach for the mens swimming and diving program at Yale for the past seven seasons before resigning in April.

Wise has also spent time in the state as the head mens coach at Southern Connecticut, his alma mater, from 1996-1998 and as the assistant coach at Central Connecticut from 1995-1996. He was the assistant coach at Yale from 1998 to 2010 before becoming the head coach. In a press release that you can view on the UConn athletics website, head coachChris Maielloexpressed excitement at adding Wise to the staff.

Its not every day a program can add a coach with such successful coaching experience such as Tim has had, said Maiello. Having been at the top of our sport for many years, Tim will bring a supporting sense of purpose, historical perspective and practical expertise, not only on deck coaching our student-athletes, but leading our recruiting efforts as well. For our program, this is a home run hire and we are fortunate to have him. I look forward to Tim contributions in helping our program evolve into our shared vision.

Wise will be joining acompletely new swim coaching staff at UConn, with Maiello and assistantChrista Saundersall starting their first yearwith the Huskies in the 2017-2018 season. They will be joined by head diving coachJohn Bransfield, who is in his 20th season with the Huskies.
