Former Purple Ace Dustin Bredemeier is entering his second year as Head Diving Coach for the University of Evansville Swimming and Diving Program. Bredemeier was named Head Diving Coach at UE on October 5, 2021.
“I would like to thank Stu Wilson and the UE Athletic Department for the opportunity to once again be part of the UE Swimming and Diving family,” Bredemeier said. “I am excited for the continued growth of a strong diving program through core team values, personal connections, and excellent foundations with the UE divers.”
Bredemeier came to UE after coaching diving at nearby Mt. Vernon Senior High School in Mt. Vernon, Indiana for five years. During his time at Mt. Vernon, he directed both the boys and girls squads while finishing with an IHSAA State Qualifier and multiple Regional Qualifiers.
The UE position is a special one for Bredemeier, who was a diver with the UE program during his college career. He is fully aware of the tradition of the program as well as the top-notch education that UE offers. The native of southern Indiana is excited to continue his coaching career with his alma mater.
“I look to encourage the diving athletes to grow and be outstanding in the sport while receiving a top-quality education,” Bredemeier continued. “It is my goal to contribute to our overall results of our program and achieve our championship goals. I am excited to be part of the future of our program.”
