Connor Beaulieu joined the swimming & diving coaching staff on June 1, 2022 as an assistant coach.
Beaulieu comes to the Hilltop after a four-year stint at Yale where he made an immediate impact in his first season. In 2019, he helped the men’s 200 freestyle relay team win the Ivy League championship, set a new school record and qualify for the NCAA Championship. In 2022, Beaulieu guided one swimmer to a fifth-place mark at the women's NCAA Championships and helped the women’s team to a second-place finish at Ivy Championships.
Prior to Yale, Beaulieu served as a volunteer assistant coach at Texas, helping the Longhorns to a pair of top-10 NCAA finishes. He spent two seasons at Texas, lifting the Big 12 Championship both times. In his first season, UT placed sixth at the NCAA Championship and improved to a fifth-place finish in 2019. In each of his two years, Texas swept the Big 12 Swimmer, Diver and Newcomer of the Year awards.
Beaulieu has also spent time with Connecticut College and Caltech prior to his success in the Big 12. In the 2016-17 season, he helped the Connecticut College women’s team to its first top-10 NCAA finish in school history and mentored 11 All-Americans. With Caltech, Beaulieu helped the Beavers break 21 school records and capture the women’s conference title for the first time in program history.
The Windsor, Connecticut native is a 2014 graduate of Amherst College where he majored in law, jurisprudence and social thought. He swam there for three seasons and was selected as the “Most Committed” by his teammates in his sophomore and junior seasons before a back injury sidelined him for his senior campaign.
