Now, USA Swimming is praising O\u2019Brien\u2019s work in molding champions in the pool.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Brien hasn\u2019t wasted any time in creating success in central Texas. He\u2019s been with the team since it officially made its debut in 2007, and the team has won numerous national team titles at the very popular Texas Age Group Swimming Championships and was named a Gold Medal Club by USA Swimming in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The roster of swimmers who have achieved national and international success at Nitro grows each year. Possibly the most-known name currently a part of the program is <strong>Sean Grieshop<\/strong>, who developed from national age group record setter to <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sean-grieshop-upsets-brandonn-almeida-for-400-im-gold-at-2015-fina-world-junior-championships\/ target=_blank>junior world champion<\/a> in about a year. <strong>Taylor Abbott<\/strong> expanded the program\u2019s success to open water in 2014 with a win in the 5K at the junior open water world championships. Abbott also earned silver in the 1500 free at this summer\u2019s junior world championships to give Nitro two medalists at the meet.<\/p>\n<p>Two alumni of the team &#8212; <strong>Will Licon<\/strong> and <strong>Matt Ellis<\/strong> &#8212; are now national champions not far away at the University of Texas.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Brien joins a very prestigious list of former winners of
