Dan Klatt is entering his eighth season as head coach of the UC Irvine women's water polo team, and is 128-79 during that time.

Klatt continues to lead UC Irvine through their ascent toward the top of the water polo landscape. Klatt earned Big West Coach of the Year honors for the third straight year following his sixth consecutive winning season in 2011, going 23-9, tying a UCI record. The team claimed their second Big West regular season title and third consecutive Big West Tournament title and the team's first berth in the NCAA Tournament. The 2011 Anteaters finished fifth in the NCAA Tournament and a No. 7 ranking in the year's final poll.

Klatt and the 'Eaters have made waves since joining the Big West with a 12-3 record in the three years and the Tri-Big West champion crown in 2009.

The Anteaters spent his first four seasons in the MPSF conference finishing 6-6 in the conference twice and finishing as high as seventh in the conference tournament, the school's best finish during its time in the MPSF.

During the summer, Klatt served as an assistant coach with the U.S. Women's National Team and guided them to titles in both the FINA Women's World Cup and the FINA World League Super Finals eliminating Australia both times.

Klatt's playing history is just as impressive. He was a member of the 2004 U.S. Olympic Water Polo team that competed in the Athens Games. He's been a member of the national team since graduating from UC Irvine in 2001 where he played his college water polo career.
