Nick has been swimming since he was four years old. Swimming runs in his blood.  His grandfather — Richard Thoman — held the 100y world record in the 1950’s. Nick returned the family to the record books with his (current) world record in the 100m sc backstroke. Nick is rarely without his sunglasses, but he takes them off every once in awhile to eat ribs and watch his favorite movie, Animal House. Be sure to select the Q&A tab above to view a Q&A of Nick.
