David Molesworth was named the first ever head coach for the University of Minnesota-Morris women's swimming and diving team in 2004. Molesworth will also serve as aquatics coordinator for the Regional Fitness Center (RFC).

Molesworth received his master's degree in Athletic Administration from the University of South Dakota in 2003 where he served as a graduate assistant for two years. This past year he was an assistant coach for the men's and women's swimming and diving teams at USD as well as the aquatic coordinator.

He completed a fantastic four-year career four years ago, capping it off with a North Central Conference victory in the 200 backstroke. While at USD, Molesworth set a school record in this event and was a member of the record-breaking 200 free relay and 400 medley relay. The Loveland, Colo., native also holds the USD meter record in the 100 backstroke and the 200 backstroke.

The 12-time All-American brings a vast knowledge of national and conference experience.

Minnesota-Morris Athletic Director Mark Fohl said " David impressed everyone involved in the interview process with his enthusiasm and passion for swimming and diving. I am very happy to have someone with his knowledge of swimming and diving to start our program. He will get our program off to a great start".

He and his wife Heather have two children - daughter Ashtyn and son Jameson.
