How They Train: The Workouts of Rising Tennessee Sophomore Nick Simons<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nick Simons<\/strong> enters the 2023-24 academic season as a rising sophomore at the University of Tennessee<\/a>. Swimming for Lake Oswego Swim Club, he was Oregon\u2019s No. 1-ranked recruit (26th nationally) in the Class of 2023. In a limited high school swimming career, he won the 100 back state championship twice, the 100 fly once and contributed to his school\u2019s winning medley and 400 free relays.<\/p>\n

Simons arrived in Knoxville with impressive credentials. A two-time USA Swimming National Junior Team member, he was a Wave II Olympic Trials qualifier (16th in the 100 meter back, 55.09). Later that year, he won the 100 and 200 yard back (46.39, 1:40.98) at the 2021 Speedo Winter Junior Championship West, then followed that up with a fourth (54.14) and third (1:57.70) at the 2022 Phillips 66 Nationals (LC).<\/p>\n

Taking his dorsal stroke prowess to a college championship level, Simons scored in his specialties at both SECs and NCAAs. At the conference meet, he finished fifth in the 200 back (1:40.05) and eighth in the 100 (46.03). At NCAAs, he garnered two 15th-place finishes, posting 45.45 and 1:40.78.<\/p>\n

His club coach, Emily Melina<\/strong>, notes, \u201cHe is a passionate kid and a swimming nerd. He knows results, time standards, records\u2014you name it, he knows it. He hates to lose and holds himself to an incredibly high standard. Nick always had a sense of what he needed to do in the pool, even when he didn\u2019t want to do it. He was remarkable about hitting pace. If he needed to be hitting a specific pace, he would strive to hit it exactly. And he was always able to make stroke and race adjustments incredibly easily\u2014which certainly made my job easier!<\/p>\n

\u201cNick trained with me from about age 13 until 18. During our time together, we built a great rapport and immense trust\u2014for which I think all coaches and swimmers hope. As a teammate, Nick was always incredibly excited for our team and his teammates\u2019 success. To this day, he still follows our athletes and congratulates them when they succeed. While his talent was evident from an early age, I always felt it was his heart that carried him. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve met an athlete who cared more,\u201d says Melina.<\/p>\n
