Year Six at the helm.

Nate Parsley stepped onto the pool deck for the first practice of his sixth season leading Salisbury University Swimming, following five years that have transformed the trajectory of the program.

Since taking over in 2021:

🏆 2025 & 2026 NJAC Women’s Champions (Program-first)
📊 Highest national rankings in program history
🏟️ Program-best NCAA Championship finishes for both teams
⏱️ 100% of Salisbury program records broken during his tenure
🏅 68 All-NJAC performances
🇺🇸 17 NCAA Championship participants
⭐ 8 NCAA All-America event performances
🌊 67–13 combined dual-meet record
🥈 An NCAA National Runner-Up (Addi Wood, 1650 free)
🔥 Salisbury’s first-ever men’s First Team All-America relay
📚 Continued success in the classroom with Academic All-America and Scholar All-America recognition

What began as a rebuild after COVID has developed into conference championships, national-level performances and new standards throughout the program.

And now, Year Six begins.

Who won this race? 👀

You’d never know from the photo. They’re both smiling. aidan and Brody race a 25 breaststroke almost every day after practice. The season started last week. They’re still doing it.

This is Mudita: finding joy in someone else’s success. It’s understanding that when the person next to me gets better, I get better too. Their win doesn’t take anything away from mine. When we genuinely push each other and celebrate each other, individual success becomes collective success.

These two live that every day. They compete. They push. They smile. Then they come back and do it again. And the results are starting to show.

Aidan Loehr has dropped 4.11 seconds in the 100 breast over two years, earning an All-Conference podium finish and an NCAA cut last season. Brody Hanlon was sidelined by illness in 2026, but was a multi-program and pool record holder, and opened last season with some breakout swims that earned him NJAC Swimmer of the Week honors.

They’re chasing individual goals, but they’re not doing it alone. Your success is our success. That’s our standard 😤

Senior captain sadie hebert had the second-fastest mile in the NJAC last year with a 17:22.45, putting herself within striking distance of the NCAA Championship invite line. That’s impressive. What’s more impressive is the -1:39.19 from her high school best she dropped to get there. Or the -15.27 she has dropped in the 500 free to go a 4:59.65 her sophomore year to win the NJAC crown.

Sadie is a huge reason why our women average 2.21% improvement during their time at Salisbury, compared to the 1.35% Division I average, based on SwimIntel data.

That is part of our standard: we strive to be leaders in swimmer development, which lead us toward competitive excellence.

With one year to go, Sadie and our senior women are ready to close out a historic run, and we’re excited to follow along 👀

Shane’s 200 free through the end of his junior year was a 1:39.93. That looks impressive. But, what more impressive is the -7.18 seconds that he has dropped in just three years from a high school senior (high school PB = 1:47.11).

Shane Hall is a huge reason that our rate of development for the men’s team is 1.27% better than the Division I average, as well as top in our conference based on SwimIntel data. That is part of our standard: we strive to be leaders in swimmer development. With a year to go, our senior men are ready to close out a historic run, and we’re excited to follow along 👀
