From NYU Athletics

Alicia Aemisegger has been hired as an assistant coach by the New York University men's and women's swimming and diving programs. She will work primarily with the middle distance and distance swimmers.

"Alicia obviously brings a ton of experience and a lot of skills to the program," NYU Head Coach Trevor Miele said. "Her background is unbelievable. She's one of the top swimmers in the world and I know she will bring a lot of great knowledge and experience to our swimmers."

A two-time Olympic Trial finalist, Aemisegger comes to NYU with a great amount of experience, both collegiately and professionally. During her time as a U.S. National Swimming Team member, she represented the United States in multiple international competitions. Aemisegger also competed at the World Swimming Championships, placing fourth and sixth in the 400 meter individual medley and the 200 meter individual medley, respectively. She also placed fourth at the 2007 World University Games in both races.

A 2010 graduate of Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics with a focus in international relations, Aemisegger was a four-year member of the Tigers' swimming and diving team. A 17-time University and pool record-holder, Aemisegger was a 13-time NCAA Division I All-American and a seven-time Ivy League record-holder who was undefeated in League competition. Upon the completion of her collegiate career, she was voted Athlete of the Decade at Princeton.

"I am thrilled and honored to be joining the NYU coaching staff, and cannot thank Trevor and the rest of the NYU swimming family for welcoming me with open arms," Aemisegger said. "I am excited to return to the sport of swimming, and hope to contribute to the success of NYU swimming as much as possible."

Aemisegger, who earned a master's degree in public administration from the University of Pennsylvania in 2012, also currently works in the Merchant Banking & Real Estate Investing group for Morgan Stanley.
