Coach Ed Denny Honored with Hall of Fame Induction

By Brittany Reamer • August 11, 2025
We are proud to share some exciting news— our very own Coach Ed Denny has been inducted into the 2025 Fairmont State Athletics Hall of Fame ! This incredible honor recognizes his outstanding career and lasting impact on the sport of swimming. Before joining WHAT, Coach Denny’s career took him to several successful programs over the years , including a standout chapter at Fairmont State University from 1992 to 2001, where he led both the men’s and women’s swimming teams. During his time there, he guided the teams through a major transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II competition, helping his athletes earn numerous All-American honors and even a national championship title. His coaching excellence was recognized with multiple “Coach of the Year” awards, and his influence on swimmers has been felt far beyond the pool deck. While his résumé is impressive, what truly makes this honor special is how Coach Denny brings that same passion, dedication, and experience to our swimmers today. We’re lucky to have a coach who not only knows what it takes to compete at the highest levels, but also knows how to inspire confidence, sportsmanship, and a love for the sport in every athlete he works with.
