Due to SwimAtlanta’s multiple locations, Nick actually trains under Doug Gjertsen.

Before Nick went to UofA, he was with Coach Gjertsen (Swim Atlanta), but has been recently training with Coach Chris Davis at another Swim Atlanta Location

Wrong Nick trains with Chris Senior currently. When he was a club swimmer in high school he swam with Doug.
