Frank Busch: Leaving A Lasting Legacy
Visit the Swimming World Magazine Vault to Read More.
Frank Busch has spent six years as national team director for USA Swimming, but that stint will be over at the end of August, after being in charge of his fourth World Championships. As he leaves, he could not be more pleased with the infrastructure he’s leaving behind.
American swimmers won 31 Olympic medals in London in 2012 and 33 in Rio in 2016. Each time, the team won exactly half of the gold medals awarded in the pool with 16. First and foremost, Busch’s job was to produce results, and he did that.
