Frank Southon
Graduate Assistant
One of the most versatile swimmer to ever compete for the Crimson Tide, Franck Southon brings a wealth of knowledge to his role as a graduate assistant coach.
“Franck is such a great technical coach,” associate head coach Sonya Porter said. “He brings so much to the table in that regard, and he has a real eye for stroke mechanics and how to get the most out of a swimmer.”
In addition to being the fastest 200 backstroker in school history by more than a second, Southon also ranks second all-time for the Tide in the 400 IM and fifth in both the 100 backstroke and 200 IM. He is also part of the school record holding relays in both the 200 and 400 medley relays.
Southon, a native of Paris, France, is also an excellent student studying Electrical Engineering and Math at the Capstone.
