BLOOMSBURG
UNIVERSITY
MEN'S
SWIMMING AND
DIVING
1987-88
The Program
The biggest problem for the Huskies' men's swimming and diving
program over the past few seasons has been a severe lack of depth. Secondyear head coach Dave Rider's team has made strides in the right direction
and appears on the way to returning to a spot among the top teams in the
Pennsylvania Conference.
"We have more swimmers, and our balance will be so much better. We
paid our dues a year ago, and now its time for us to go out in each meet
and compete. The attitude is good, and the times are getting better and better."
The 1987-88 roster includes just three seniors and has 11 performers in
their first or second seasons with the squad. Rider's goal continues to be
the addition of more quality swimmers and divers to enhance the overall
team performance against a schedule that annually includes approximately
12 dual meets, a few invitationals, and the conference championships. Several
individuals have also represented Bloomsburg at the N.C.A.A. Division II
national championships in past seasons.
Bloomsburg competes in the 14-member Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference, the nation's largest Division II conference. The men's
swimming and diving program has enjoyed several good seasons, finishing
among the conference's top four teams on 14 occasions in the 28 seasons
since the sport was introduced at Bloomsburg in the 1959-60 season.
Rider is the sixth head coach of the sport at Bloomsburg, succeeding Mary
Gardner, who directed the unit for one season, and now serves as the
university's athletic director. Gardner initiated the university's highly
successful women's swimming and diving program and coached the squad
for 12 years compiling an 88-28 record.
Prior to Gardner taking over both the men's and women's teams in 1985-86,
Eli McLaughlin was the head coach for 23 seasons from 1961-62 to 1984-85.
Other coaches included Donald Heilman (1959-60), Bob Zeigler (1960-61),
and Cecil Turberville (1969-70), who filled in for McLaughlin during a
sabbatical leave.
Rider likes his team's progress through the early part of his tenure. "Our
people all swam' their personal best times as last season progressed, and
we expect that improvement to continue. We will work to improve the
schedule each year, so we'll have to have people mature quickly as we
continue to build."

Head Coach Dave Rider
Dave Rider is in his second year as director of aquatics
at Bloomsburg. His women's team finished 6-4 in dual
meet competition, while placing 2nd in the Pennsylvania
Conference and 13th in the NCAA Division II
championships.
Rider serves as head coach for both men's and
women's swimming and diving programs and oversees
the daily operations of the university's two pool facilities.
Before coming to Bloomsburg, Rider served as head
coach for the swimming and diving teams at Norwin
High School (Pa.) for eight years. While at Norwich, he served as both men's
and women's coach and established a combined dual-meet record of 159-63-3.
His 1982 women's squad captured the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic
Association (PIAA) state championships, and his men's unit was PIAA
runnerup in 1984. During Rider's tenure, 61 performers earned All-State
honors and 16 competitors gained All-American status.
He also established the Norwin Aqua Club, which boasted several junior
and senior national qualifiers and placed performers in the United States
olympic trials. The club also holds some national records.
In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Rider taught physical education and computer programming courses at Norwin.
Previously, he taught in the North Allegheny (Pa.) School District, where
he developed and administered the community's aquatic program. Rider
was the school's men's swimming coach for two seasons from 1977 to 1978,
compiling a 20-2 mark while handling 15 All-State and two All-American
swimmers. He was the founder and coach of the Allegheny North Swim Club.
From 1972 to 1974, he was on the staff at the Sewickley (Pa.) YMCA and
served with the Peach Corps in Morocco from 1968 to 1971.
Rider received his bachelor's degree in Near East archaeology from the
University of Chicago in 1968. He was a member of the school's varsity
swimming and water polo teams. His physical education certification was
awarded in 1973 at Slippery Rock and his Master of Science degree in sports
sciences.
He is certified by the Red Cross in standard first aid and is an instructor
in CPR and water safety.
Rider holds memberships in the American Swimming Coaches
Association, National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association,
Pennsylvania Swimming Officials Association, and is a past president in the
Pennsylvania High School Swimming Coaches Association.
