AND DIVING
1989-90

-----THEPROGRAM
Even though the Huskies' men's swimming and diving team has
had its problems over the past few seasons, Coach Dave Rider feels
optimistic that the team can again become a top contender in the
Pennsylvania Conference.
Rider's goal continues to be the addition of more quality
swimmers and divers to enhance the overall team performance against
a schedule that includes approximately seven dual meets, a few
invitationals, and the conference championships. Several individuals
have also represented Bloomsburg at N.C.A.A. Division II national
championships in past seasons.
Bloomsburg competes in the 14-member Permsylvania State
Athletic Conference, the nation's largest Division II conference. The
men's swimming and diving program has enjoyed several good
seasoos, finishing among the conference's top four teams on 14
occasions in the 30 seasons since the sport was introduced at
Bloomsburg in the 1959-60 season.
Rider is the sixth head coach of the sport at Bloomsburg.
sua:eeding Mary Gardner, who directed the unit for one season, and
now serves as the university's athletic director. Gardner initiated the
uniw:rsity's highly successful women's swimming and diving program
and coached the squad fOI' 12 years compiling an 88-28 record.
Prior lo Gardner taking over bolh the men's and womm's teams
in 1985-86, Eli McLaughlin was the head coach for 23 seuoos from
1961-85. Olher coaches included Donald Heihnan (1959-<,0), Bob
7.eigler (1960-61). and Cecil Twberville (1969-70), who filled in
Mclaughlin during a sabbatical leave.
Rider is very optimistic about the team. "We have the
possibility of glCll improvcmeolS wilh this team. Over the next few
yean I can see this team n:ally improving."
