Former Princeton, Pitt, and Bucknell assistant Kelsey Reott has left the coaching staff just before the start of the new season to pursue a career outside of the sport, Princeton women’s head coach Abby Brethauer confirmed to SwimSwam this week.
“A big loss for our team and our profession, but certainly happy for her,” Brethauer said of her former assistant, also confirming that the departure was Reott’s choice.
The position was posted with a $68,000-$78,000 salary range on LinkedIn 4 days ago, but has already been closed there.
Reott joined the Princeton women’s staff last summer, which was her third full-time collegiate coaching position. She was part of the Tigers’ fourth consecutive Ivy League Championship and a 38th place finish at the NCAA Championships – the only Ivy League women’s program to score last season.
The new hire will be part of a refreshed Princeton staff: Emmett Adams was also hired earlier in the summer as an assistant coach, replacing David Cooper. Cooper was also with the program for just one season.
Prior to that she spent two seasons as part of the rebuilding effort at Pitt, where the men’s and women’s programs combined to break 38 program records and qualify 25 student-athletes for the NCAA Championships.
Before that, she spent three seasons at Bucknell.
A former standout swimmer at Westminster College, Reott joined the Bucknell staff following stints as a graduate assistant swimming & diving coach and admissions counselor at her alma mater. During her time as a graduate assistant coach with the Titans, Reott was responsible for creating, planning and implementing workouts. She was also heavily involved in recruiting, a strength she built upon as an admissions counselor. Reott helped the women’s team to their first Presidents Athletic Conference Championship in 12 years, while the men’s team placed second in the conference.
As a student-athlete for Westminster College from 2012 to 2016, Reott excelled in backstroke and IM events. At the PAC Championships, she reached the ‘A’ finals 11 times, placing as high as the runner-up. She was a two-time team captain, four-time All-PAC First Team honoree and was also named to the PAC Academic Honor Roll.
Reott received her bachelor’s degree in PreK-4 Early Childhood Education/PreK-8 Special Education from Westminster College in 2016. She obtained her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at her alma in 2021. Following her college graduation, Reott spent one year as an eighth-grade special education teacher in Virginia’s Culpeper County Public Schools; during that time, she also served as the head coach of BASS Swim Team.
A native of Butler, Pa., Reott qualified for the PIAA AA State Championships as a junior and senior at Slippery Rock High School.
Princeton begins their competitive season with a meet against Dartmouth and Brown on November 7th and 8th on the road in Hanover. Fall semester classes begin on September 2nd.
