Coach Kristine Nelson is entering her sixth year as head coach of Swim and Dive. She has been involved in athletics her entire life. She was a three-sport athlete in high school participating in swimming, track, and volleyball. As club swimmer for nine years and a high school varsity swimmer for four years, she was a two-time Wyoming state champion and one-time state record holder. In college, Kristine swam at Northern Arizona University from 1986-1990 with strengths in 100 and 200 backstroke and 200 & 400 I.M. events.

Coach Kristine is grateful to have taught in Chandler’s outstanding schools for 25 years. She recently retired from full-time teaching in order to focus on coaching swimming and building strong young people as athletes and leaders. Her 5-year vision was accomplished last season as both girls and boys teams won the Division III State Swim & Dive Championship. Kristine’s goal is to produce an exemplary swim and dive program at Arizona College Prep that instills the love of the sport of swim and dive, courage and discipline, and a family spirit in our Knight athletes.
