Over the course of six different decades, Jack Bauerle has made an immeasurable impact on the University of Georgia, the Bulldog Nation, the community of Athens, and the world of competitive swimming.
He’s one of the most successful and decorated coaches in Bulldog and international swimming lore and amongst Georgia’s greatest ever ambassadors.
His list of accomplishments is stellar and astonishing. Amongst the highlights, seven national championships as Georgia’s head coach and 15 top-two finishes on an 18-year stretch from 1999-2016. His teams won over 100 consecutive home meets. In a career that spanned 44 years as Georgia’s head coach (mostly with both programs), his swimmers amassed hundreds and hundreds of All-American, All-Southeastern Conference, Team USA, World Championship and Olympic accolades.
