Former Arizona State athletic director Lisa Love tried to cut men's swimming back in 2008. Athletes, coaches, and alumni fought hard to keep the program alive.
Taking over as men's and women's head coach in 2015, Bob Bowman has helped bring ASU swimming back from the brink. You've heard of Bowman, right? Coach of superstars Michael Phelps & Allison Schmitt?
Assistant Misty Hyman (Stanford/Team USA) won a gold medal in the 200 butterfly in the 2000 Sydney Games, upsetting Australian Susie O'Neill on her home turf. Misty is no longer with the Arizona State program.
