From his office in the Aquatic Center at Wheeler Rec, Evan Sholudko can see and hear the lapping waves of the 25-meter swimming pool. This is his domain \u2013 home of the incoming UB men\u2019s and women\u2019s Swimming and Diving teams.<\/a> \u201cI try to do my best to steer everybody in the right direction,\u201d he said. \u201cSomebody might not believe in themselves, or not think they\u2019re capable of swimming to the level that they are really capable of. So, it\u2019s my job to raise them up and prepare them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sholudko has six years of head coaching experience; the list of athletes he\u2019s coached includes national swimmers and even an Olympian. When asked about this new opportunity at UB, he explained, \u201cI have certainly had some great opportunities\u2026but I like being able to build my own brand here at UB.\u201d<\/p>\n

UB\u2019s Vice President of Athletics and Recreation, Jay Moran, hired Sholudko last spring with the singular aim of building a competitive swimming and diving program. Sholudko was chosen for his wealth of experience and a proven track record of success. \u201c[He] will reinvigorate our swim teams as head coach and I believe he will have success right away,\u201d said Moran. \u201cHe cares about the development of his student-athletes and understands the importance of collegiate athletics in the lives of young people. I am thrilled to welcome him to our Purple Knight family.\u201d<\/p>\n

UB\u2019s President Danielle Wilken echoed Moran\u2019s sentiments, saying, \u201cEvan\u2019s commitment to the holistic development of our student athletes aligns perfectly with our values here at UB. We are confident that under his leadership, our Swimming and Diving teams will foster a strong sense of community and excellence within our university.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building a program and a community is a tall order for anyone, but Sholudko seems confident that he is up to the task. \u201cI always wanted to be involved in sports, and here I am nine years after starting in this business, and I am still doing it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t always feel like a job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sholudko swam collegiately for four years on the varsity team at the University of Massachusetts, majoring in economics with a minor in Psychology. He placed fourth in the 400-IM and seventh in the 1650-free at the 2013 Atlantic-10 Conference Championships. He then began his NCAA coaching career in 2016 as an assistant coach at Stevens Institute of Technology, where he helped lead the program to an Empire 8 Conference Championship in 2017.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Sholudko moved on to Assumption University, where he served as assistant head women\u2019s coach and then head men\u2019s swim coach, before serving two years as head coach of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming programs at Eastern Illinois University (EIU). At age 25, he was then the youngest head coach in Division I collegiate swimming.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of experience and made my own mistakes, and seen other people make mistakes and make good decisions bad decisions,\u201d Sholudko shared. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of pressure these days on what young people are experiencing on their way to find success, and I can share a lot of insight with young people.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his three seasons with the Lewis University Flyers, Sholudko coached 42 men and 39 women to All-GLVC honors. Under his guidance, both programs finished fourth at the 2024 Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Championships and matched their highest finishes in team history. The men and women also achieved College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-America team honors each of the six semesters under his leadership. Along with 19 CSCAA Scholar All-American recipients and many more honors, Sholudko was named the GLVC Coach of the Year at the 2023-2024 championships.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was building a great program, and I think a lot of my peers were shocked that I would leave it, but I\u2019m a family-oriented guy,\u201d he said. Both he and his fianc\u00e9\u2019s families live in the region and the couple decided they wanted to be closer to family as they built their own. \u201cI was always telling people that I wished Bridgeport would overhaul their program and fund it, because if I could do anything there like I was doing at Lewis, it would be perfect \u2014 and then it happened,\u201d he laughed. \u201cI am ecstatic to return to the New England region and I can\u2019t wait to get to work establishing a new level of success and tradition for our student-athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Purple Knight Swimming and Diving teams will officially begin competing in the fall of 2025 at the Division II level as an associate membership in the Northeast-10 Conference. \u201cThere\u2019s a certain level of athlete that we\u2019re trying to recruit,\u201d explained Sholudko. \u201cThe goal is to really build a conference championship team. UB\u2019s reputation of being very inclusive, family-oriented, and competitive will be a draw for these students \u2014 and then as we build, I want people to know that UB Swimming means business.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Aquatics Director, Sholudko will also be making sure the pool is operating properly and helping David Graham, Director of Campus Recreation and the Wheeler Recreation Center, manage lifeguards, pool rentals, and capital improvements to Wheeler Rec. \u201cWe have a pretty well-oiled machine already,\u201d he said. \u201cDavid Graham\u2019s an incredible guy to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham expressed his own excitement about the returning program and its new coach, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to bring swimming back to UB and Wheeler Rec. Evan is an awesome addition to the Purple Knights Athletics team and has had proven success as a head coach at the college level. He\u2019s a great fit for UB.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being a swimmer himself taught Sholudko how to succeed as a coach, and he sees his student-athletes as emerging from his program with a better chance of success in their chosen fields. \u201cSwimming really tests a person\u2019s mental and physical attributes and can very quickly teach not only the importance of routine and quick thinking, but what it takes to be a successful human being,\u201d he explained. \u201cIf I\u2019m somebody who\u2019s starting a business or running a corporation, I know that somebody who swam four years in college is going to be wired differently than somebody that didn\u2019t. I think it\u2019s a huge advantage when you put it on your resum\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sholudko has a big year ahead of him; he\u2019ll be getting married in the summer of 2025 and then will begin his inaugural season as head coach at UB. \u201cI\u2019m not going to rest for the next nine months,\u201d he said. \u201cI know all the ins and outs of what we need to do for success here and I\u2019m chomping at the bit to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
