Head Coach
 Brian Hein
Entering third season at LHU:
The 2021 spring season was the second for Coach Hein at the helm of the LHU Swimming program, and saw the Bald Eagles compete in a series of virtual meets before the eventual PSAC Championship meet.
The Bald Eagles finished ninth at the championship meet but look poised for big things this year under the direction of Hein.
In 2021,
Lauren Mummert notched two PSAC top-15 marks in the 400-yard IM and the 200-yard butterfly. Â She went on to finish eighth in the 200-yard butterfly during session one of the PSAC championships last season.
Sol Asparria has qualified for the PSAC Championships in each of the past two seasons. In 2019, she qualified for the championship meet in the 50-yard freestyle and in 2021 her participation once again warranted her a spot in the 50-yard freestyle. She landed a top-25 finish at the event.
