Head Women's & Men's Coach - Northwestern
Robinson is one of six female head coaches in swimming and diving across the Power-5 conferences and just the second female to oversee both men's and women's programs in the Power-5.
In Robinson's two years in Evanston, the program has reached new heights. In 2020, Northwestern boasted 20 CSCAA All-Americans, three Big Ten Champions in the women's program, and the most points ever scored by the men's program at the Big Ten Championships. Before joining the Wildcats, Robinson was the head coach of the women's swimming and diving program at Tulane from 2013 to 2018. During her time with the Green Wave, all 14 individual school swimming records were surpassed, as were all five relay marks. Robinson's swimmers and divers won 32 conference medals and reached the NCAA Zone Diving event four times.
In addition to her team's success in the pool, the Green Wave earned Scholar All-America status from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America each of her 10 semesters.
Robinson served as an assistant coach for Rutgers' women's swimming and diving team from 2011 to 2013, her first full-time collegiate assistant post came at Virginia from 2008 to 2011, with her initial foray into collegiate coaching coming as a graduate assistant at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., where she was responsible for aiding the head coach in both training and recruiting.
Prior to her coaching career, Robinson was a star at the University of Texas (2003-07) where she was an 11-time All-American, claimed the 200-yard fly title at the Big XII Conference Championships three times and served as team captain in 2006-07. She earned a spot at the NCAA Championships every year as a Longhorn and helped Texas to four Top-10 finishes, including sixth-place showings in both 2005 and 2007.
