Ian Disteldorf is in his second season as an assistant coach with the UB swimming and diving team after joining the staff in July of 2023.
Disteldorf comes to Buffalo after spending one season as an assistant coach and strength and conditioning coordinator at Wabash College where he created practice plans, led strength and conditioning programing, recruited, and assisted in other daily activities of the program. Under his guidance the Little GIants placed fourth at the NCAC conference championship, setting two program records. Out of the pool the program earned CSCAA Scholar All-America honors.

During that period Akron claimed its seventh consecutive MAC title and finished the season ranked in the top-30 in the Collegeswimming.com championship and dual-meet polls.
Prior to Akron, Disteldorf spent two seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Augustana College, where he helped the Vikings produce four individual College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) champions, six all-conference athletes, and the 2019 CCIW Swimmer of the Year.
Disteldorf earned a master's of sports science from Akron in 2021 after receiving a bachelor of arts in business administration and economics from Augustana in 2017. He was a member of the Augustana swim team for four seasons, earning all-conference honors in 2015 and 2016.
