Nick Charriez joined the Army West Point swimming and diving coaching staff as an assistant coach in October 2019.

“Nick is passionate, energetic and extremely outgoing,” Army West Point head swim and dive coach Brandt Nigro said. “He's a tireless recruiter and has already begun to make an impact on the recruiting fronts here at West Point. During his time at Johns Hopkins, he worked with and learned from two top-tier coaches in our sport in George Kennedy and Scott Armstrong. I'm excited to see the ideas and perspectives he brings to our staff. From the first day I met Nick, I could tell that he shared my vision for this program and is excited to bring new ideas to this program. He's focused and extremely hardworking and will have a positive impact on all facets of our program!”

Alongside his coaching responsibilities, Charriez also serves as the men's recruiting coordinator for the Black Knights.

Charriez arrives on the banks of the Hudson following a three-year career as an assistant on the staff at Johns Hopkins before being elevated to Associate Head Coach and Director of Recruiting in the summer of 2018. With Charriez on the staff, the Blue Jays finished .500 or better in dual meets during all four seasons while compiling a 22-14-2 record.

During his time at Johns Hopkins, the Blue Jay women finished in the top-10 at the NCAA Championships three times, with a pair of top-five finishes (2016, 2018). The Jays have combined for 104 All-America honors, including 55 first team selections. On the men's side, he helped coach the team to four straight fourth-place showings at the NCAA Championships. The JHU men have garnered 142 All-America honors, including 99 first team accolades. In addition, three Blue Jays won NCAA titles.

Prior to his stint at Johns Hopkins, he spent two years as an assistant coach at Connecticut College.

In his first year with the Camels, Charriez helped the men's team to a program-best third and 12th-place finishes, respectively, at the NESCAC and NCAA Championships. He also guided Samuel Gill to the 2014 NCAA title in the 100 Back. The women's team meanwhile placed fifth and 16th, respectively, at conference and national championships. In all, Charriez coached 11 Connecticut College swimmers to All-America honors and the teams combined to break 28 school records in 2014. Last season, the Camels broke a combined 14 school records and eight swimmers earned All-America honors. The men's team finished third at the NESCAC Championships and 19th at NCAAs, while the women took home sixth at the conference championship.

Charriez was a four-year member of the Kenyon Lords swim team that won the 2013 NCAA Championship and finished second in 2011 and 2012. He was a three-time NCAA qualifier and earned All-America honors twice in the 100 Fly and once in the 200 Fly. In 2013, Charriez was a team captain and received the Coaches' Award in memory of Joseph O'Daniel, given by the coaches to a swimmer who best demonstrates the true spirit of Kenyon Swimming. Charriez graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics.
