Tim Powers to retire after 37 years at BYU

BYU announced yesterday that John Brooks has been hired as the Head Coach for Swimming & Diving, taking the helm from Tim Powers, who is retiring after 37 years at BYU.  http://bit.ly/GETOH0

Powers coached both the Men's and the Women's program from 1975 to 1981, where he coached Lelei Fonoimoana, the first BYU female All-American. He then turned the womens team over to Stan Crump and directed his full attention to the mens squad. In 2009, after 27 years of having a split program, the Men's and Women's teams were combined once again, with Powers as the Head Coach of both squads.
