Angel Alcala

A Pacific record holder, Angel Alcala joined the staff ahead of the 2024-25 swim season. 

Alcala swam for four years as a Tiger, committing 20 hours a week to practice, weight training, while maintaining full course load as a student-athlete.

Prior to his return to Pacific, Alcala spent two years as a swim instructor with Tiger Aquatics in Stockton where he guides swimmers with race strategy, mental preparation and race feedback. Alcala helped instill the knowledge of six core values from the program - passion, responsibility, discipline, community, citizenship, and integrity – and continues to bring that mindset to the pool.
 
Alcala taught swimmers the fundamentals of all four strokes, breakouts in all four strokes and the starts of swimming.
 
Originally from Los Angeles, Alcala earned a degree in Psychology at Pacific in May 2020.
