Richard Quick

Richard Quick (born January 31, 1943 in Akron, Ohio) was the head coach of the women's swim team at Stanford University, California, U.S. from 1988 through 2005. He has been a coach for the US Olympic team for six Olympics - 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004. Following the 2007 season, he will be head coach of the Auburn University Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving team.

At the Sydney Olympics he led the women's team to sixteen medals. At Stanford he won seven NCAA titles and developed 35 NCAA Champions, winning five NCAA Coach of the Year honors and three Pac-10 Coach of the Year awards. His most successful swimmer is probably Jenny Thompson who has won eight Olympic Golds. Other notable Olympians coached by Quick include Ambrose "Rowdy" Gaines, Steve Lundquist, Summer Sanders, Dara Torres and Misty Hyman. He previously was head women's swimming coach at the University of Texas, where his teams won five consecutive NCAA titles (1984-88).

On Thursday, March 8th 2007 Auburn University announced that Quick will take over as Head Coach for the Swimming and Diving teams after David Marsh leaves the program. Quick was Marsh's coach when he was a backstroker for Auburn. In March 2007 Marsh won his 12th NCAA National title, tying his former coach and mentor for the most titles won by an NCAA Coach.

Quick was a top swimmer himself at Highland Park High School (University Park, Texas) and Southern Methodist University where he made All-Southwest Conference. He is a member of SMU's Distinguished Alumni.
