Originally arriving on campus in the fall of 1977 as a freshman from South Carolina, he also served as an assistant coach from 1981-82 to 1984-85 and helped design the Burke Aquatic Center. Ross has been the head coach of the Boilermakers since the 1985-86 school year, a remarkable 38-year tenure that spanned Purdue Swimming & Diving's Lambert Pool and Morgan J. After more than 40 years of coaching and sharing life lessons at his alma mater, Ross has a lot to be proud of as his distinguished run as head coach comes to a close at the end of June. It's the impact on the lives of others – including those in the coaching community, both locally and nationwide – where a coach really builds his legacy. Purdue Swimming & Diving's Dan Ross has lived that life, caring for his student-athletes and influencing their early-adulthood years in ways that live on long after they transition into alumni. – A coaching career well-crafted that impacted the lives of hundreds of Boilermakers. ![]()
