SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Trinity University's Head Coach of Swimming & Diving Cathleen Pruden has announced the hiring of Tommy Law as the program's Diving Coach.
Coach Law joins the Tiger coaching staff after spending the last 13 seasons at NCAA I University of the Incarnate Word. The San Antonio native coached a pair of UIW divers to NCAA II Championships and he is a three-time Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Coach of the Year.
"I would like to thank everyone at UIW Swimming and Diving for a wonderful 13 years," began Coach Law. "I learned so much during that time and I will miss everyone dearly. Now I am honored and blessed to be a part of the Tiger Swimming and Diving family. Thank you (Director of Athletics) Bob King and Cathleen Pruden for this amazing opportunity. Trinity University is such an incredible institution and I look forward to this next adventure."
Coach Law attended Marshall High School and the University of Texas-San Antonio, earning his undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (specialization in kinesiology), and minoring in Russian. Before joining the UIW staff, he was the diving coach for the San Antonio Divers. He is also a diving coach for the Alamo Area Aquatics Diving Team and Northside Independent School District. Coach Law has earned district and regional coaching awards and has coached multiple Amateur Athletic Union National Champions.
Also prior to joining Incarnate Word's coaching staff, Coach Law served as the Diving Chairman for the Texas Intercollegiate Swim Coaches Association and was on the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association All-American selection committee. In addition to being a member of both NISCA and TISCA, Coach Law is also involved with San Antonio Sports, the Sea World "Viva" diving company, and the Community Olympic Development program.
"I am thrilled to welcome Tommy to Trinity," said Coach Pruden. "I have seen first-hand his success as a coach and his devotion to his athletes. His experience at UIW has positioned him well to lead our divers to conference and national level success."
Coach Law and his wife Elaine reside in San Antonio.
