Victoria Palochik was named as an assistant swimming and diving coach in 2023. Palochik returned to the program after swimming on the team from 2017 to 2023.
During her time at Drexel, Palochik helped set a program record in the 200 relay and the 400 relay at the CAA Championships in 2023. In 2022 she collected two more gold medals in the 200 relay and 400 relay at the CAAs, while adding a bronze medal in the 100 fly. Palochik was also a stand out student, being named to the CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll five times.
Palochik does not come without her share of coaching experience. She is currently an assistant swimming coach for the Blue Eagle Swim Team in her hometown of Nazareth, Pa. She helps develop athletes varying in age and skill level, and also functions as the seasonal associate head coach for the recreational summer league team, the Nazareth Narwhals. Palochik was also the lead instructor and program director for three years.
Palochik is still a current student at Drexel University, studying to receive her masters in sport coaching leadership. She expects to graduate in the summer of 2024.
