Emily Eaton enters her third season as an assistant swimming coach for Indiana in 2021-22 and her first season as the Director of Men's and Women's Recruiting.
In her first season with the Cream and Crimson, the shortened 2019-20 season, she helped lead both the men's and women's programs to third-place finishes at the Big Ten Championships. The men's squad collected a total of 17 medals – nine gold, three silver and five bronze, while the women's team compiled a total of seven medals – one gold, three silver and three bronze.
Bruno Blaskovic claimed Big Ten Swimmer of the Championships after securing First Team All-Big Ten honors, six gold medals, one silver medal an individual NCAA A Cut, and one CBAC Pool Record during the conference meet. Blaskovic became the fourth-straight Hoosier to earn the distinction, the longest streak of any Big Ten program since the inception of the award in 1991. Brendan Burns was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year after claiming six total medals – three gold, one silver and two bronze at the Big Ten Championships.
"Emily Eaton is one of the finest up-and-coming coaches in the NCAA today," IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said at the of Eaton's hiring. "The coaching staff at Missouri could not have been more complementary of her coaching, recruiting, and impact on team culture. I believe she will help Indiana take the next big step in our progression toward a team national championship."
Eaton arrived in Bloomington after two seasons at Missouri including last season as an assistant coach and the program's director of operations since June 2017. During her time with the Tigers, Eaton helped the program to a men's second place finish at the 2018-19 Southeastern Conference Championships and 11th place finish at NCAA Championships and a women's seventh place finish in the SEC last season and 22nd at national championships. She has coached 17 All-Americans during her tenure including primary coach responsibilities with 2019 USA National Team member Nick Alexander and 2018 USA Junior Pan Pac Team member Danny Kovac.
Eaton came to Mizzou from Albion College, where she was an assistant coach for the 2016-17 season. With the Brits, she helped the program achieve a history-making campaign as the men's team claimed its first Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship since 1971. At the NCAA Championships, the men's team finished 13th, highlighted by two All-America first team and four All-America honorable mention performances.
Before Albion, Eaton coached at the Genesys Athletic Club in Grand Blanc, Mich. She began as assistant coach in 2012 and was elevated to head coach in 2014. Under her direction, Genesys achieved its best-ever conference finish in her first season at the helm before claiming the dual meet championship in 2016.
Eaton was a three-time All-American at Grand Valley State and still holds top 10 program times in three different events. She also earned Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America Scholar All-America honors all four years.
She earned a bachelor's of science in Secondary Education with a triple emphasis in mathematics, health and physical education in 2016. Eaton later earned her master's of education in counseling psychology from the University of Missouri in 2020.
