Adam Cvetich named Simpson head swimming and diving coach

INDIANOLA, Iowa -- Simpson College Director of Athletics Marty Bell has announced the hiring of Adam Cvetich to lead the men's and women's swimming and diving programs as the head coach.

"We are excited to welcome Adam and his family to Simpson College and the Indianola community," said Bell. "Adam is a great fit for our athletic department and his experiences align well with all aspects involved in leading our swimming and diving programs. He has been successful as a student-athlete and assistant coach, and I am confident his success will continue as our new head coach. I look forward to working with him and supporting his endeavors."

Cvetich takes over the helm after Tom Caccia retired at the conclusion of his eighth year leading the Storm this winter. Caccia's student-athletes set more than 130 records in 35 events during his tenure.

"I'm excited to bring my skills and continue the success of Simpson's swimming and diving programs," said Cvetich. "Everyone constantly talked about the closeness of Simpson and I'm looking forward to being a part of the great community that they've created."

Cvetich arrives to campus following a two-year stint at Augsburg University as a graduate assistant. While with the Auggies, he served as the team's recruiting coordinator and had three individuals break school records during his time on deck.

Prior to his stay at Augsburg, Cvetich was the assistant swim coach for two seasons at Lee Williams High School in Arizona. He's had stops at New Castle YMCA, Beaver County Aquatic Team and Riverside Aqua Club of Ellwood as an assistant coach.

In the pool, Cvetich was a four-year Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference finalist while competing at NCAA Division II Edinboro University. He finished in the conference's top 16 all four seasons in the 400-yard individual medley and three times in the 200-yard butterfly. Cvetich tallied four scholar-athlete awards during his career.

The Ellwood City, Pennsylvania native is married to Nicole and the couple have a daughter, Avery. He is a 2013 graduate of Edinboro with a degree in music education. He obtained his Master's in Education from Augsburg in 2021.
