Scott Olson enters his third year as an assistant to Rick Walker this season after working as an assistant head coach at the College of Charleston from 2006-2009

A native of Watertown, S.D., Olson helped lead the Cougar men's team to a Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association conference title each of the last two years.

Prior to his tenure at College of Charleston, Olson served as interim head coach of the University of Tennessee women's swimming and diving team in 2005. He was also a graduate assistant (2003-05) and volunteer coach (2002-03) for the Lady Vols.

Before joining the college ranks, Olson was named the Northeast Tennessee High School Swimming Coach of the Year at Science Hill High School. Under his tutelage, a number of swimmers reached Junior National, Senior National and Olympic Trial levels.

Olson garnered All-American honors as a member of the University of North Dakota men's swim team. He earned his bachelor's degree from UND in 1996 and master's from Tennessee in 2005. Both degrees were in recreation administration.
