DeSorbo to coach Team USA in Paris

Whether coaching UVA or Team USA, Cavalier swimming and diving coach Todd DeSorbo has been doing a lot of winning in recent years.

In March, DeSorbo coached the UVA women’s team, which has become a veritable dynasty, to its third straight NCAA championship. The previous June, he led the U.S. women’s swimming team to 25 medals at the 2022 World Championships.

Now, DeSorbo will take on perhaps his biggest challenge: coaching the U.S. women’s swim team at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

DeSorbo was an assistant at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which took place in 2021 because of the pandemic. UVA won its first NCAA championship in women’s swimming and diving that year—the first ever by an Atlantic Coast Conference team.

Cavalier swimmers won four medals in Tokyo and nine at the 2022 world championships. UVA swimmers—current team members and alumni—could once again represent the U.S. in Paris. The 2024 team will be chosen in June at the Olympic trials.
