Birkir Jonsson was named to TCU's swimming and diving coaching staff entering the 2018-2019 season.
Jonsson comes to TCU after coaching at George Washington for six seasons as an assistant and served as GW's men's recruiting coordinator. While at GW, Jonsson worked with NCAA qualifiers Andrea Bolognesi (2016, 2017) and Gustav Hokfelt (2018). He coached Hokfelt into the top 100 world rankings in the 50m and 100m backstroke in 2017 and 2018.
"I had the pleasure of working with Birk for many years," Head Coach James Winchester said. "He swam for me at the University of New Orleans and we worked together for the last three years at GW. He was a big part of our success there, in charge of our men's recruiting and sprint programs. He's really grown and developed as a coach these last few years and I'm excited to see what he will do at this level."
Hailing from Iceland, Jonsson graduated from Old Dominion University, where he graduated with a degree in communication in May of 2012. Prior to Old Dominion, Jonsson swam at the University of New Orleans for two seasons before transferring.
