PROVO, Utah – Tom Huynh was named BYU’s diving coach for the upcoming season, head coach Tamber McAllister announced Saturday. 

“We are extremely excited to welcome Tom as our new dive coach,” McAllister said. “His knowledge and experience, developed under some of the best dive coaches in the country, along with his attention to detail and ability to connect with athletes by creating a clear vision for their growth and future, will make an immediate impact.”

Huynh joins the Cougars with an extensive background in high school and collegiate diving.

Huynh joins BYU having served as the diving coach for Marshall University in Huntington, WV, since January 2026. Before his time with the Thundering Herd, Huynh served as the associate head diving coach for the Greater Lafayette Area Diving and the head diving coach for William Henry Harrison High School in Indiana.

As a biomedical engineering graduate from Purdue University, Huynh adds not only diving expertise, but a scientific, data-driven approach to athlete development and performance. Incorporating video and data analysis, dry-land and apparatus development, and a consistent emphasis on mental performance, Huynh adds a unique perspective to the BYU swim and dive staff.

Huynh was mentored by Olympic diving champion David Boudia and three-time Olympic diving coach Adam Soldati and holds them in high regard for his success and development as a diving coach himself.

“I am incredibly excited and honored to join BYU as the diving coach,” Huynh said. “BYU has a rich history of excellence, and I am eager to lead our student-athletes as they strive to reach their greatest potential both in and out of the pool. Go Cougs.”
