TCU’s combined swimming and diving program has added a former Tulane assistant Greyson Heckman Friday to the coaching staff for the 2024-2025 season.

Heckman spent the past two seasons at Tulane, where he briefly served as interim head coach before being hired by the Green Wave Amanda Caldwell. Tulane broke four school records last season and sent one swimmer to the NCAA Championships. Before Tulane, he spent a season as a volunteer assistant at Kansas, where he helped the Jayhawk women finish second at the 2022 Big 12 Championships.

As a swimmer, Heckman competed at both Cleveland State (2013-15) and the University of South Dakota (2015-18). At South Dakota, he made the Summit League honor roll twice.

“We are very excited to have Coach Heckman join our staff this season,” said TCU head coach James Winchesterwho is entering his seventh season as leader of the Horned Frogs. “His experience and past success will take our team to new heights.”

Last season, Winchester had four swimming coaches on its staff: an associate head coach Alice McCallassistant coach Carolyn Meierassistant coach Graydon tedderand assistant coach Rob ZamoranoIt is not yet known whether Heckman will replace one of the four previously mentioned coaches or become the fifth assistant on the staff.

The TCU women finished third at the 2024 Big 12 Championships, while the men finished second behind Texas. The Horned Frogs will no longer face the Longhorns in the Big 12, but will now face defending national champion Arizona State after another round of conference realignment this summer.
