"Brian made me believe in myself and gave me the courage and confidence to put „make the German national team“ on my goal sheet. He pushed me on a daily basis, inside and outside the pool and I couldn’t be more grateful for all he did for me and my athletic career. He even came to German Nationals in Berlin with me - where I achieved my goal of making the national team and qualified for world university games. This was almost 8 years ago and I still keep in touch with him from time to time and cannot wait to see him at my wedding this summer :) This is the relationship Brian builds with his swimmers because he cares about them as athletes AND people! He is a great coach - one of the best I’ve ever been coached by! "

"I would love to say that my teammates and I had a comprehensively great experience swimming for GW, but that would not be true due to the tumultuous, unnecessarily stressful, and inconsistent emotional environment created by Coach Thomas. I would be remiss not to warn future collegiate athletes considering George Washington that if you are looking for a coach that is fair, reasonable, or measured in his emotional reactions, then Coach Brian Thomas is not for you.

"Brian really does make an effort to get to know his athletes. However, he is trying to elevate the program to be a major D1 swim school, so he really asks the team to put swimming on an equal pedestal as school. He also does not encourage internships/study abroad. "
