Duke’s most famous sports team might be basketball, but its swimming and diving program deserves just as much respect. After two days of competition at the 2019 NC State GAC Invitation, Duke has held its own against some of the strongest programs in the NCAA, including ACC rivals NC State, as well as Auburn Univerity from the SEC, the University of Wisconsin from the Big Ten, and Arizona State from the Pac-12.

Duke Head Coach Dan Colella spoke to SwimSwam Friday about the team’s successes so far in Greensboro, and also told us what it’s like training athletes during the final push towards Olympic Trials. Coach Colella also talked about racing and the process of getting there.
