During his four seasons with the Panthers, Carroll’s student-athlete tutelage and his vast knowledge of the Atlantic Coast Conference have seen Pitt swimming & diving make significant improvements. In total since 2018, Pitt swimmers have combined to break a total of 28 school records, with men’s swimming accounting for 22 historic swims during that time. During the 2021-22 campaign, four Pitt school records were broken and the men’s squad broke three school records over the course of the season. Senior Cooper Van der Laan was responsible for two of the record breaking swims in the season with the first coming at the Ohio State Invitational. He swam a 51.42 in the 100 breaststroke to claim the school record. Later in the year at the ACC Championships, he tallied his third career medal as he broke the school record in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 1:52.76 to finish third. He is just the third athlete in program history to earn three career ACC medals and two of those occurrences have happened under Carroll’s tutelage. In 2020-21, the Panthers broke five school records and had two swimmers earn All-American status at the NCAA Championships. Sprinter Blaise Vera became just the second student-athlete in program history to claim three ACC medals in his career after finishing third in t
