Ben Loorz didn’t go the half-truth route to describe his first season as the UNLV men’s and women’s swim coach.
“It’s been a busy one,” Loorz said. “It’s like drinking from a fire hose with a winding road. I’m just now getting to know the student-athletes. I didn’t recruit or previously worked with the student-athletes. It’s about building that connection and earning that trust.”
Loorz admits it wasn’t a smooth transition to have 42 swimmers adjust to his coaching philosophy. Fortunately for Loorz, the college swim season is half a year long.
The Rebels have found their stride heading into the conference championships.
