About Tom Whittemore

Tom Whittemore came to the University of Redlands in 1988 following a two-year assistant coaching stint at his alma mater, Claremont McKenna College. Since joining the Bulldog staff, he has built the Redlands aquatic programs into national powerhouses, working at one time or another as the head men’s and women’s water polo and swimming coach, assistant swimming coach, and director of aquatics.

 

He retired from coaching after 32 years in 2019-20 academic year and now devotes his time to teaching and chairing the Kinesiology Department.
