A pair of former college swim coaches have been added to the U.S. Center for SafeSport and USA Swimming public databases.
Former University of Pacific graduate assistant Bobby Yribarren was banned on May 4, 2026, though that is subject to appeal and not yet final.
Yribarren was previously listed as suspended for “intimate relationship – involving a member” by the U.S. Center for SafeSport. At the time, he was suspended for three years from May 2021 until May 18, 2024.
He is no longer listed in the USCFSS database, but is listed in USA Swimming’s database as a banned individual as of last week for “sexual misconduct” and “other misconduct” including a criminal disposition. The ban cites several sections of the USA Swimming Code of Conduct including those related to sexual misconduct, those related to providing alcohol to a minor athlete, and the sale or distribution of illegal drugs or drugs on the AQUA banned list.
Yribarren spent three years as a graduate assistant at the University of the Pacific. He is currently listed as the “Kitchenmaster” at the Cambridge Zen Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was previously the “Housemaster” and “Workmaster” there.
In April, Mike Richmond, the former head coach of the varsity swim team at the University of Nevada, was added to the U.S. Center for SafeSport database with a temporary suspension for Allegations of Misconduct. The nature of those allegations were not listed, and he was also give a no contact directive.
Richmond spent five seasons as the head coach at Nevada from 2007 through 2012. He was named the 2008 WAC Coach of the Year. Prior to being elevated to interim, and then full-time, head coach, he was an assistant with the program for eight seasons.
After leaving Nevada, he moved into a full-time role as the head coach of the Sparks Piranhas, a USA Swimming team in Sparks, Nevada, where he is still listed as President, CEO, and Head Coach.
Before his time at Nevada, he spent 11 years as the head coach of the Lubbock Swim Club in Lubbock, Texas.
SwimSwam was unable to locate any criminal records for Richmond, but has reached out to him for comment.
