Robert Tolar Named Head Swimming & Diving Coach at Brophy

Robert Tolar has been named the Head Swimming and Diving Coach at Brophy College Prep, Athletic Director Josh Garcia announced. He replaces recently retired Patrick O’Neill.

“I'm excited to take on the head coaching position with such a great group of returning swimmers both in, and out of the pool,” said Tolar. “The Brophy Swim Team has an incredible legacy that I'm humbled and honored to be a part of moving forward.

Tolar assisted O’Neill during the 2025 season, leading the Broncos to the AIA Division I State Championship and a state-record point total. He is in his second season on the Brophy faculty in the Mathematics department.

Tolar swam competitively in Phoenix from the age of eight years old, spending most of his time at the Phoenix Swim Club. He swam varsity in high school all four years (3 with Dobson, 1 with Brophy) and was named the team captain his senior year. He also swam at Arizona State University during his freshman year of college. Tolar specialized in middle-distance freestyle (200 and 500). 

He has been an assistant coach for Dobson High School (2005-06), Mountain Pointe High School (2007-09), and Brophy.
