HEAD DIVING COACH, CAIMING XIENow in his 37th year as a diving coach in 2014-15, Caiming Xie has helped his protégés win conference titles, All-America honors and gold medals. A proven winner, Caiming’s experience reaches all over the world, with 2014-15 marking his 20th season as head women’s and men’s diving coach at Notre Dame.

During his tenure with the women’s program, he has molded four of the top divers ever to compete for the Irish – Jenny Chiang, Heather Mattingly, Meghan Perry-Eaton and Natalie Stitt – who combined for 12 BIG EAST titles, 10 appearances in the NCAA Championships, 10 All-America or honorable mention All-America citations and five BIG EAST Most Outstanding Diver awards. One of the foursome holds all of the Notre Dame and Rolfs Aquatics Center diving records minus the school’s platform score (Lindsey Streepey) and held both of the BIG EAST diving marks before the Irish moved to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2013-14.
