2009-10: Krysten Nemecek enters her second season as the assistant swimming coach and recruiting coordinator for Vanderbilt.

Head coach Jeremy Organ was impressed with her first year with the Commodores.

[quote]She learned a lot,[quote] Organ said. [quote]It was a learning year for her, which is always hard, especially when you[apos]re young. I think she did very well, and I think it[apos]s only going to get better with her.[quote]

Nemecek played a big hand in bringing in one of Vanderbilt[apos]s best recruiting classes in the history of the program in 2009, by signing seven new swimmers and one walk-on to the Commodore program.

Before coming to Vanderbilt, Nemecek spent three years as the head swim team coach for the Serenata Beach Club in Ponte Vedra, Fla. She was responsible for developing the swimmers based on their seperate skill levels.

Outside of the pool, Nemecek excelled in the classroom. In May `08, Nemecek graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors in Health Administration from University of North Florida. En route to attaining her degree, she was named to the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Academic team four times.

As a senior at North Florida, Nemecek posted five first-place finishes and 21 top-three finishes.
