Coach Devin is the Head Coach of the Humboldt Squid group for the 2022-2023 season.

My Name is Devin Nash, I am a Sophomore at Arapahoe Community College. 

I first started my swimming career at age five with the Ben Franklin summer team, where I swam for 13 years.  Additionally from ages 8 through 13 I swam for the Aqua Wolves year round team.

In 2015 I started working for South Suburban teaching stroke clinics for pre-swimteam kids and teaching swim lessons to non swimmers.  My junior year of high school I was lucky enough to have our Head Coach Andy Farner transition to LHS as my swim coach.  I qualified for State multiple times during my high school career and was captain my senior year.

I started coaching for Slipstream Aquatics in the 2017-2018 swim season and had a blast doing so.  I'm looking forward to another great year on the team and am excited to see the team grow!
