Nate Parsley
Camp Director
Head Coach Nate Parsley enters his sixth season leading the Salisbury University men’s and women’s swimming programs in 2026–27, continuing to build one of the fastest-rising programs in NCAA Division III.
Since arriving in 2021, Parsley has overseen a historic transformation of the Sea Gulls, highlighted by 229 program records broken, 110 Maggs Pool records, and 32 NCAA Championship participants. Under his leadership, Salisbury has produced 14 All-Americans (including five First-Team honors) and 37 NCAA B-cuts, while establishing itself as a consistent conference and national contender.
The Salisbury women’s team has captured back-to-back NJAC Championships (2025, 2026), the first conference titles in program history, while the men’s program achieved a program-best NJAC runner-up finish in 2026. Parsley has twice been named NJAC Coaching Staff of the Year, and his teams have earned 133 All-NJAC selections, including 35 First Team honors.
At the national level, his athletes have reached new heights, including Addi Wood’s 2026 NCAA National Runner-Up finish in the 1650 freestyle and the men’s 200 medley relay earning the program’s first-ever First-Team All-America honors in 2026. His teams have also been recognized for their development, ranking first in combined personal-best performances at the NJAC Championships and earning SwimCloud’s Most Improved NCAA Division III Program honors.
Parsley has compiled an outstanding 67-13 combined dual meet record (.859 winning percentage) at Salisbury, including undefeated seasons and multiple program records for dual-meet wins. His teams have also captured four Midseason Invitational titles and consistently raised the standard of performance and culture within the program.
Prior to Salisbury, Parsley served as head coach and aquatics director at Arcadia University, where he was named MAC Coach of the Year (2020) and led his teams to sustained success, including 625 personal bests, 40 program records, and multiple conference champions. He also held coaching positions at Rowan University and Haddonfield High School.
A former team captain and student-athlete at Rowan University, Parsley brings a passion for athlete development, team culture, and competitive excellence to every level of his program. His coaching philosophy emphasizes performance, connection, and long-term growth, making him a sought-after leader and instructor for swimmers of all ages and abilities.
