By Remedy Rule, Swimming World College Intern
Kris Kubik announced his retirement as Texas associate head coach after 34 seasons paired with head coach Eddie Reese. The duo led the team to 12 NCAA men’s swimming and diving team titles and 32 NCAA top-five finishes. Although these accolades are impressive, Kubik is much more than that. The University of Texas is saying goodbye to a coach who always has a skip in his step, who carries an undeniable presence with him on deck, and who has left a lasting impression on swimmers and coaches far beyond the pool.
Kubik plans to take a “very long nap” immediately following his retirement. After that he’s just waiting to find out what his future holds outside of the sport of swimming.
KK: There is a song that is sung by everyone associated with the University. It’s called “The Eyes of Texas“ and unless you’re here and you’re a part of it, it may not mean much to you…it may sound a bit like “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” because it’s to that tune. But the meaning of the song basically is that whatever you do in life, you’re not alone. There are hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people who are supportive of you and care about what you do. Therefore as a representative of the University of Texas, you should hold yourself to the highest standard. Our teams have sung that after victories, after we’ve lost meets, and we’ve also sung it at weddings, funerals, and bachelor parties. It’s dear to my heart. I will never take the singing of that song lightly.
