Tyler Fenwick joined the UVA coaching staff in August 2017 as associate head coach of men's and women's swimming and diving. He was promoted to senior associate head coach following the 2024 season.
Since arriving in 2017, Fenwick has helped Virginia make history as the first program ever to win six consecutive NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, while also posting the men's best NCAA finish in five years — ninth place — in 2026. The women's program has also captured seven consecutive ACC titles during his tenure.
Over that same period, the Cavaliers have produced 32 women's national champions, 191 women's individual All-Americans and 32 women's All-American relay teams, along with 48 men's individual All-Americans and 25 men's All-American relay teams. UVA swimmers have broken 29 World Records and set over 90 American Records since Fenwick and head coach Todd DeSorbo arrived, won five Olympic medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and 12 medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and collected dozens of World Championship medals — including 48 gold — since 2021.
The UVA men and women have each broken 15 school records and 21 long-course meter records during Fenwick's tenure. The team has achieved the highest GPAs in program history, produced multiple ACC Swimmer of the Year award winners, and won more than 80 ACC titles.
Fenwick served as assistant coach on the U.S. Pan Pacific Championship Team in 2018, and was the U.S. Open Water head coach for the 2015 and 2017 World University Games and the 2017 and 2018 UANA Pan American Championships. Fenwick has been a fixture on the U.S. national team coaches list since 2012.
Fenwick's responsibilities extend beyond coaching to include alumni relations, development and fundraising, program marketing and promotion, social media creative services and management, and recruiting.
Fenwick served as associate head coach at Tennessee from 2012-17. During his time with the Volunteers, he helped coach four U.S. Olympians, guiding the team to 100 All-American selections and 36 school records.
Prior to Tennessee, Fenwick coached the Men's National Team with the Mission Viejo Nadadores in Mission Viejo, Calif. While there, he coached swimmers to 88 NAG Top 10 performances, developed nine National Junior Team members, and two U.S. National Team members. He also served as assistant coach for Germantown Academy Aquatic Club in Fort Washington, Pa., from 2004–07 under legendary U.S. Olympic Team Coach Richard Shoulberg.
Fenwick attended Germantown Academy in Philadelphia. He holds a bachelor's degree in English from William & Mary and a master of science in sports management from Tennessee. He lives in Charlottesville with his wife, Hayley, his daughters, Harper and Brooklyn, and his dog Maximus.
