JACKSONVILLE -- Excitement abounds for the upcoming 2021-22 North Florida Swim season, with eighth-year head coach Ian Coffey not only leading a roster of experienced swimmers and talented newcomers but also looking forward to the return of on-campus competition for the first time in his tenure.
With the recent completion of the UNF Aquatic Center, the Ospreys are scheduled to host their first on campus meet since 2014. The 2021-22 ledger features a pair of home contests along with some in-season invitationals and several dual meets.
The Ospreys will unofficially get things started with Alumni Weekend festivities on Sept. 17-19, which includes a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new facility along with a Blue-Gray inter-squad competition.
“We are really excited for this season! Opening our new pool on campus is going to be great for our swimmers and the University. We now have an on campus facility to call home. We are going to have our inter-squad meet to start off our competitions this year, followed by our first annual Sprint/Relay Meet. Our first official dual competition will be against CCSA member Georgia Southern. During the fall we will also travel to Florida State for our annual quad meet with West Florida and Florida Southern. We finish up our fall swimming with a three day invitational in Fort Myers. Upon returning in January, we start things off with a trip to Georgia Southern beforing head back to FGCU for a two-day meet. We are also really looking forward to our CCSA conference meet at Liberty this season.”Head Coach Ian Coffey
