Swarthmore College Head Coach: Karin Colby

In this episode, I’m joined by Karin Colby. Colby is in her ninth season as Head Coach of Men’s and Women’s Swimming at Swarthmore College. The Swarthmore men and women recently captured their third straight Centennial Conference Championship. Colby was awarded Coach of The Year for both the men and women.

Swarthmore capitalized on the 2023-2024 season by sending a program-record 11 individuals to compete at the NCAA Division III National Championships. Swarthmore finished the meet with a ninth place finish, the highest team finish in Centennial Conference swim history.

Prior to arriving at Swarthmore, Colby was the Acting Head Coach and Associate Head Coach at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT, Colby helped the men's and women's programs earn four top-ten team finishes at the NCAA Championships and capture consecutive NEWMAC team titles.

Additionally, Colby spent five years as the assistant swimming and diving coach at Amherst College. During the 2012-13 season, the women's team claimed its first-ever NESCAC title and finished sixth at the NCAA Championships.

Colby was an accomplished collegiate swimmer at Carleton College. She was a 15-time All-MIAC selection, two-year team captain, and a NCAA Division III Championship qualifier.
