BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana swimming head coach Ray Looze has promoted Luke Ryan to associate head coach ahead of Ryan's seventh season with the program. In addition, Ryan retains his director of recruiting title.
Ryan has stood at the forefront of Indiana's distance success, most recently highlighted by Big Ten medal sweeps in both the 500-yard freestyle and the 1,650-yard freestyle, as well as Zalán Sárkány's NCAA record in the 1,000-yard freestyle and 2025 NCAA title in the 1,650 free.
Ryan also guided Josh Bey as he dropped 7.71 seconds in the 400-yard IM during his freshman season. The Big Ten Swimmer of the Year and Freshman of the Year, Bey won the conference gold and set the Big Ten record with a 3:34.90, ranking him No. 8 all-time as well as the second-fastest freshman ever.
Since Ryan joined Looze's staff, Indiana has won six Big Ten titles, including five consecutive on the men's side. The Hoosier men have earned five consecutive top five finishes at the NCAA Championships, and the women's program earned its best-ever national performance in 2025, placing fourth.
The Hoosier coaching staff has produced double-digit Olympic swimmers in consecutive cycles. Eleven swimmers with ties to the program participated at the Paris Games, including five members of the U.S. Olympic Team as well as athletes representing Egypt, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands and, for the first time in school history, Singapore and Lithuania. Ryan served as an assistant coach for the Tunisian national team at the Fukuoka 2023 World Aquatics Championships and currently serves a similar for the Czechia's national team.
