The University of Toledo has hired former Olympian Jonas Persson as its women’s swimming coach.

A member of Sweden’s 400-meter freestyle relay team that finished fifth at the 2008 Olympics, Persson comes to Toledo from the University of Utah, where he was the sprint coach for the last four years.

Persson replaces Chris Peters, who resigned in February after four seasons.
