Joe Acquaviva

Joe Acquaviva was announced as Franklin & Marshall's head men's and women's swimming coach in August of 2022 and enters his third season with the Diplomats during the 2024-25 academic year.

Acquaviva found immediate success at Franklin & Marshall as he led the men to an 8-1 dual record before an eventual third place finish at the Centennial Conference Championships. The women's team went 7-3 during his inagural season and captured fourth place at the conference championship meet. Acquaviva cames to F&M after record-breaking five seasons as the head assistant and associate head coach at Tufts University.

Acquaviva was elevated to the associate head coach of the Tufts swimming programs prior to the 2021-22 season and promptly helped the women's team to its first-ever NESCAC Championship and program-record seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championships. The team's finish at the NCAA Championships helped Tufts capture its first-ever Learfield Directors' Cup Championship as the most successful athletic department in Division III. He was also on staff for the men's team when it won its first NESCAC Championship during the 2017-18 season and achieved a program-best seventh place finish at the Division III Championships that same year.
