University of Alaska, Fairbanks Women's Swimming

Lemley once again built a swimming program from the ground floor. Since 2005, he has seen his squads improve steadily year by year and, in some instances, meet by meet. Last December his team competed in a major invitational with nearly 800 swimmers in attendance and for the second time in a row won the college division trophy. For the first time since the Nanooks began attending this meet, two swimmers, freshman Martha Hood and senior Margot Adams, were the 1st and 2nd place individual high point award winners.

Laine returns to Alaska for her first season as the Assistant Coach for the Women's Swimming team. After receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Economics in May of 2011, graduating with Cum Laude academic honors, Laine traveled to Glasgow, MT where she took the position of Assistant Coach for the Glasgow Kiwanis Swim Team.  Returning to the Nanooks as a graduate from athlete to coach, Laine is excited for what this position will allow her do to continue to develop the program here at UAF. When remarking on Laine's new role with the team Lemley stated that, "Kinsey has had a lot of success as an athlete, but what's more important than that is her passion for swimming.  She was incredibly passionate as an athlete and that's what will transfer over to her coaching.

2024-25 is Logan Indest's first season with the Nanooks swimming program. Indest joins the Nanooks after spending the past two years as the Assistant Men's and Women's Swim Coach at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa. He will assist Head Swim Coach Ksenia Gromova in overseeing the Nanooks swim team. "I am happy to welcome Logan into our Nanook family," said Gromova. "I think he will be an amazing addition to our team. Logan has demonstrated success in his coaching career and I am excited to see him help the team excel as well as grow and develop as a coach." During his time at Allegheny as an assistant coach, Indest assisted in the writing, organizing, and conducting of practice sessions and overall season plan. He helped identify and recruit potential athletes by sending recruitment letters, meeting with recruits, conducting phone calls with recruits, and arranging visits to campus. Additional responsibilities included running the team's social media accounts, organizing fundraisers for the Allegheny swim team, and serving as Assistant Aquatics Director. Indest helped the Gators to a combined 26 top-10 performances, including 13 top-5 performances, seven individual championship performances, and seven record-breaking swims. While at Allegheny, the swim team received four CSCAA Scholar All-American Team Awards. Indest has also worked at Dublin Jerome High School as an Assistant Boys and Girls Swim Coach. There, he assisted in organizing and planning swim meets, leading lifting sessions once a week during the season, and collaborating with athletes and coaches to set individual and team goals. He also made a stop at the Buckeye Swim Club as a USA Swimming Assistant Coach. Indest, a graduate of Allegheny College, was a member and captain of their swim and dive team before joining as a coach. He finished as an NCAC A Final Qualifier 2019 (400 IM) and a three-time NCAC Swimmer of the Week. Indest earned his B.A. in Political Science with Minors in Education Studies and Global Health Studies and graduated Cum Lauda in May 2021.
