NJIT men’s swimming and diving head coach Ron Farina named Dora Fyfe to his staff as the Highlanders’ new Diving coach during the 2019-20 campaign. Fyfe brings overs 30 years of coaching, teaching and training experience in diving and gymnastics to NJIT.
In 2021, Fyfe was chosen to once again serve as a FINA judge at the USA Junior National Championships in Indiana.
In her first season in 2019-20, Fyfe was named CCSA Men's Diving Coach of the Year at the CCSA Championships on February 22. Fyfe helped Cole Becker reach the finals of both the 1 Meter (7th, 213.65) and 3 Meter (6th, 260.85) events at CCSAs and helped Max Hafen join Becker in the 3 Meter finals (8th, 104.85).
In diving, Fyfe spent the prior four years as both Owner/Head Coach of the Pike Dive Academy @ SPACE 201 in Washington Township and Head Coach at the Stonybrook Swim Club in Hillsdale. Fyfe has been heavily involved in both programs, developing training programs, implementing practice and competition plans, and engaging in player development, while also handling management, marketing and fundraising duties for Pike. At Stonybrook, Fyfe produced at least one Bergen County individual diving champion from 2015 to 2018 and won the Bergen County team diving title from 2017-18.
Fyfe (née Dora Quevedo) was named a FINA judge for the United States and will serve as a judge at the 2019 USA Senior National Championships in Indiana and was appointed Head Diving Coach by the Ecuadorian National Federation in October 2018 as the country competed in the 2018 Copa Pacifico tournament.
