Kim Williams enters her first season as a member of the Stanford women's swimming and diving staff, returning to The Farm after a decorated swimming career with the Cardinal.
Williams joins the Cardinal staff after one season with California where she helped lead the Golden Bears to their sixth Pac-12 title in program history. Before her time in Berkeley, Williams spent a season as a volunteer assistant at Northwestern under the tutelage of current Stanford associate head coach Katie Robinson.
During her time as a student-athlete at Stanford, Williams led the Cardinal to three consecutive NCAA and Pac-12 Championships from 2017-19, including being named team captain of the 2019 title-winning squad. Individually, Williams was a member of two national championship 400 medley relay teams and won another NCAA title in the 200 medley relay, garnering a total of six NCAA All-America honors in her career.
A four-time CSCAA Scholar All-American and three-time Pac-12 All-Academic honoree, Williams collected three career Pac-12 titles and still holds Stanford Top-10 times in three events, including program records in both the 200 and 400 medley relays.
A native of Bellevue, Washington, Williams completed her bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in political science.
