Dean Hutchison returns for his eighth season at Rider.

A former standout swimmer from Delran High School, Jersey Wahoo’s and Auburn University, Hutchinson was a seven-time NCAA Division I All-American and USA National Team member. Dean was a co-captain of Auburn’s first ever Southeastern Conference Championship team in 1994 and a flag bearer and silver medalist at the World University Games in 1999.

Hutchinson’s highest world ranking was eighth in the 50 meter freestyle in 1994. He competed in three Olympic Trials and captured Rookie of the Meet honors at the 1992 Olympic Trials.

Hutchinson earned his B.S. degree in Exercise Science at Auburn University and added an M.S degree in Physical Therapy from Allegheny University in 1998.

Hutchinson practices physical therapy with Dynamic Physical Therapy in Marcus Hook, Pa. He has continued to develop his coaching by offering clinics to university teams and sport governing bodies throughout the world. Most recently, Hutchinson has developed a coaching relationship with Olympic champion Pieter von den Hoogenband to teach the track start. While Hutchinson’s competitive success has been in the sprint events, he is knowledgeable in all areas of training and will not be limited in his ability to assist with all aspects of the program.
