From high school to college and to the national and international levels, Gregg Troy has etched himself as a legend in the coaching ranks. It all started at the prestigious Bolles School in Florida, where Troy built scholastic and club programs of national acclaim and began developing world-class athletes.
Some of the biggest names in the sport were coached by Troy while he was at Florida, including Ryan Lochte, Elizabeth Beisel, and Caeleb Dressel. Lochte is a 12-time Olympic medalist while Dressel won five gold medals under Troy’s watch at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. As for Beisel, she was a longtime staple for Team USA in international competition, winning gold in the 400 individual medley at the 2011 FINA World Championships and a pair of medals at the 2012 Olympics in London.
That triumvirate of stars, however, accounts for just a small percentage of athletes who have competed at the highest level while benefiting from Troy’s coaching touch. Troy has coached dozens of Olympians during his career, with those athletes representing a multitude of countries from around the world.
“There are a lot of coaches out there that want to do less to get the same results, and Gregg is all about working as hard as you possibly can to get the best results,” said Martin Zubero, the 1992 Olympic champion in the 200 backstroke. “He’s molded a lot of people’s lives. It’s a lot of life lessons that are learned, and he’s a big part of the success of people’s lives, not just in swimming, but beyond swimming.”
On the international stage, Troy has coached at all global competitions. He has been an Olympic coach for several nations, including serving as the head coach for the United States women at the 2012 Olympics. He has also been a coach at the FINA World Championships and Pan Pacific Championships, with his athletes combining to win more than 100 medals.
