Jim Dailey enters his 30th season as head coach of the Lafayette swimming program. Dailey served as the interim coach during the 1993-94 campaign and was an assistant coach from 1991-93.

Since taking over at Lafayette, Dailey has guided the Leopards to a total of 35 individual Patriot League titles and has had a total of 23 men and 20 women selected to the All-Patriot League team. Four of his men were on the Patriot League All-Decade team. Since 1992 several milestones have been broken by his swimmers/divers.
