JOHN TREMBLEYJOHN TREMBLEYJOHN TREMBLEYHEAD COACH

For more than 2 decades, John Trembley has dutifully served as the head coach of Tennessee men’s swimming and diving program. Under his guidance, the Volunteers compete alongside the nation’s top tier of collegiate aquatic programs

The most successful coach in the formi-dable Southeastern Conference, Trembley is also the longest tenured current coach in the UT men’s athletics department and the third all-time longest tenure as a Tennessee head coach in any sport.

‘JT,’ as he is known on The Hill, was called to his alma mater in 1988 to replace retiring leg-endary Vols’ head swimming coach Ray Bus-sard. Since that time, the Big Orange program has been a model of academic success and athletic excellence while producing some of the nation’s most successful student-athletes.

TREMBLEY FILEBorn: Oct. 23, 1952, in Schenectady, N.Y.Education: Shaker High School, Loudonville, N.Y.; University of Tennessee (1975)Athletic Career: Tennessee (1971-75) free-style sprinter; 5-time NCAA individual cham-pion; 5-time SEC champion; 20-time All-AmericaCoaching Career: Tennessee (assistant coach) 1975-69; Mercersberg (Pa.) Acad-emy (head coach) 1980-88; Tennessee (head coach) 1988-presentFamily: Married to the former Joanne Hogan; three sons John Michael, Je� and Lee

24th SEASON OVERALL RECORD: 288-67 (.811) DUAL MEET RECORD: 145-34 (.810)


STAFFTrembley’s prowess as a coach and moti-

vator was instantly realized when, in his inau-gural campaign, he led the 1988-89 team to an SEC title. His �rst team earned a 10-2 dual meet record, including a 5-1 record within the SEC. In his �rst year at the helm of the pro-gram, Trembley set a new standard for the Big Orange. He had the most successful start of any head swimming and diving coach in UT history. He is also the only current SEC head coach to win an conference title in his �rst year. The Vols’ ninth-place NCAA �nish was the �rst top 10 for the Big Orange in 10 seasons. The new spirit of competitiveness brought to Rocky Top by Trembley was unmistakable, and the Vols’ NCAA performance showed ev-eryone in the sport the Tennessee Volunteers were back.

That standard has continued throughout Trembley’s tenure. The past 22 years shine as some of the brightest years in UT aquatics history as Tennessee owns 14 top three SEC �nishes and 15 top- 10 NCAA �nishes. During the Trembley era, the Vols have broken school records on 99 occasions and have won 54 in-dividual SEC championships as well as 20 SEC relay titles.

His reputation of turning out some of the nation’s best swimmers has been proven in the development of performers like Jeremy Linn, Melvin Stewart and Tripp Schwenk, all three champions on the SEC, NCAA and Olym-pic levels. Each of these athletes developed under Trembley’s tutelage and later won four gold medals, two silver medals and a bronze medal.

In addition to these athletes, Trembley has coached 14 other Olympians at UT, includ-ing three who competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Athletes coached by JT at Tennes-see have won three titles at the World Cham-pionships, �ve championships at the World University Games, four Goodwill Games’ crowns and three Short Course World Cham-pionships titles. Trembley’s record of produc-ing world class athletes speaks for itself.

Before taking the reins of the Big Orange program, Trembley was the head coach at Mercersburg College in Mercersburg, Pa. From

1980-88, Trembley’s program was one of the most dominant in the nation, boasting a dual-meet record of 95-2. He coached Mercersburg to seven national prep-school titles and six Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming Champion-ships crowns.

Prior to his tenure at Mercersburg Acad-emy, Trembley served as a graduate assistant coach at Tennessee. As a deck coach under Bussard, Trembley served the Vols from 1975-79 and assisted one of the most successful pe-riods in UT history. While Trembley was an as-sistant, The Big Orange owned an impressive 65-6 dual-meet record, won �ve SEC titles and the 1978 NCAA crown.

As a student-athlete, Trembley remains one of the most decorated swimmers in Ten-nessee history. From 1970-74, the Loudonville, N.Y., native won �ve SEC championships, nine NCAA titles, earned 20 All-America honors and set three American records in the 50 free-style and the 200 and 400 freestyle relays.

He was also the �rst swimmer to win �ve crowns in one NCAA event. At the 1972 cham-pionships, Trembley put on a show before a home crowd in Knoxville, winning three indi-vidual events-- 50 freestyle, 100 butter�y and 100 backstroke-- and was a part of two relay titles in the 400 and 800 freestyle.

The Touchdown Club of Columbus, Ohio, named Trembley the 1972 National Swimmer of the Year.

In 1985, for his outstanding collegiate ac-complishments and his contributions to the Tennessee program as an assistant coach, Trembley was inducted into the Tennessee Swimming Hall of Fame.

He is the founder and president of United Swimming Clinics, a camp for competitive swimmers, and has mentored more than 13,000 swimmers worldwide through the pro-gram. He was honored by the NCAA in 2000 as a recipient of the Silver Anniversary Award, given to student-athletes who distinguish

themselves in their athletic �eld 25 years af-ter graduation. Trembley has also served as a national coach on many levels, including his work as the coach of the 2002 United States Short Course World Championships team.

Few people have ever been as passionate about Tennessee swimming and diving as John Trembley. The relentless drive that keeps Trembley going every day translates to the athletes that don the Orange and White and represent the Vols. Trembley’s mission as head coach at UT is stated best in his own words, “Faith in the mission of the coaches extend-ing to the swimmers, trust from swimmer to swimmer, self discipline and real accountabil-ity for training and racing are the keys to a suc-cessful season.”

Trembley and his wife, Joanne Hogan Trembley, a former UT Timette, have three sons- John Michael, Je� and Lee. The Trem-bleys attend Second Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, Tenn.

LARS JORGENSENASSISTANT COACH

Former Tennessee swimmer Lars Jor-gensen is back for his second season as assis-tant coach of the Vols.

Jorgensen initially took the position of in-terim assistant in August 2010, stepping in for longtime assistant coach Joe Hendee.

In his �rst year back in Knoxville, Tennessee ended the season ranked 12th nationally, hav-ing �nished 12th at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships and third at the SEC Championships. The team was 6-2 (2-1 SEC) in dual meets during the year.

Tennessee earned 12 total All-America honors in swimming and diving, and the team broke three school swimming records: the 200-yard freestyle (Ryan Harrison, 1:32.38), the 500 freestyle (Harrison, 4:15.13) and the 200 breaststroke (Brad Craig, 1:54.24).

Before arriving back on The Hill, Jorgensen was at the helm of swimming program at the University of Toledo for six years.

During his time coaching the Rockets, Jor-gensen ushered in a wave of success.

Jorgensen boasts a 34-17-1 (.676) dual-meet record, and his teams annually improved within the Mid-American Conference. Most recently, his e�orts culminated in a 2010 MAC Championship, for which Jorgensen earned his second MAC Coach of the Year honor.

In 2008, he coached the �rst Rockets swim-mer to ever qualify for the NCAA Champion-ships. During his stint at Toledo, his swimmers earned 16 individual MAC titles.

Before taking over at Toledo, Jorgensen spent four years at LSU as an assistant coach, then one additional season in Baton Rouge as associate head coach.

Jorgensen arrived at Tennessee in 1993 as a transfer student from Southern California. De-

spite spending only one season on Rocky Top, his impact is still felt today. Jorgensen holds the Tennessee record in the 1000 freestyle. The mark of nine minutes 5.38 seconds, set in 1992, is the second-oldest standing record in the books.

During his year as a Big Orange collegian, Jorgensen earned a silver medal at the 1993 SEC Championships in the 1650 freestyle, helping UT to a third-place �nish.

Before becoming a Vol, Jorgensen contin-ued a rich family tradition--competing in the Olympics. Representing the U.S., he placed ninth in the 1,500-meter freestyle at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. His brother, Daniel, won a bronze medal in 1992 as a part of the United States’ 800 freestyle relay team.

In 1988, Lars and Daniel became only the second pair of brothers to participate in the Olympic Games. Jorgensen’s father, Niels, was also an Olympian, competing for Denmark as a wrestler.

Jorgensen is also a former professional tri-athlete and still holds the Ironman swimming record.

Jorgensen has one daughter, Meg.
