Radnor swim coach Tom Robinson closes in on 300th win

An onlooker can get a fine introduction to the last three decades of Radnor High boys’ swimming from the banner hanging above its swimming pool.

For everything else, Tom Robinson is the man to see.

For how many District 1 and Central League titles Radnor has won since Robinson became coach in 1984 (10 and six, respectively), consult the banner. Same for when the Raiders won the state championship (2002) and when they placed second (2003 and 2006).

But a banner can only say so much. It lacks sufficient room to list the 267 times a swimmer qualified for states under Robinson. Or his 41 all-Americans. Or each of the 299 dual meets he’s won.
