Boston College Swimming & Diving announced the hiring of Bruno Darzi on Wednesday afternoon. Darzi will serve as the associate head coach for the Eagles program.

Darzi is a veteran swimming coach, who has trained multiple Olympians, including Kazakhstan’s Vlad Polyakov and Venezuela’s Arlene Semeco, as well as Eagles head coach Dara Torres. Previously, he was the Coach Director for USA Swimming’s Southern Zone and has worked as the head coach of Coral Springs Swim Club in Coral Springs, Fla.

"I'm incredibly honored and excited to have Bruno join our program as associate head coach," said Torres in the official press release. "He has over 25 years experience - 15 as a head coach - and I trained with Bruno for my sixth and final Olympic Trials. There's no way I would have accomplished what I did at 45 years old without his coaching and guidance. We both can't wait to get the season going with this great group of Eagles' swimmers."
