Oliver Wyeth
Assistant Coach
Ollie is a native of New Zealand that used swimming as a means to
move to the United States. New Zealand is surrounded by water with
the furthest inland point being only 74 miles. As a result of this,
he began learning to swim as a toddler to prepare myself for
the huge swells on the beaches. It wasn't until he was around
8 years old that he began to swim competitively. At the age
12, he saw his first national success which would carry
through till he graduated high school. During his time in high
school, he would travel to a few countries as a member of both
the New Zealand Junior team and New Zealand Olympic Development
team.
In 2014, Ollie was recruited by the UMass Amherst varsity team
as a 500 freestyler, and 100/200 backstroker. In his time at
college he was able to win multiple individual medals, two
conference championships, acquire NCAA cuts, and captained the team
his senior year. In 2018, Ollie put up the cap and
goggles and realigned his focus to an area of study he was
passionate about. This resulted in being able to attain
a Masters of Science in Business Analytics in 2019.
With a bit more free time now that he is no
longer training 20 hours a week, Ollie lenjoys being on
deck and sharing his swim knowledge and experience.
