In 2011 Nolan set 4 national high school records.[7] He swam for Hershey High School (which has him on their honor wall), since he was born in Hershey as well as Hershey Aquatic Club. When committing to Stanford, Nolan had 5 national high school records, 7 state high school records, and was a high school All American.[8]

Nolan swam for and graduated from Stanford University.[9] He completed a degree in biomechanical engineering and a minor in computer science.[8]

In 2015 he set the American Record in the 200y IM, swimming 1:40.07. The swim was one hundredth of a second faster than the previous record set by Ryan Lochte.[10] He ended his college swimming career with 3 team records, 9 conference titles and 17 All-American honors.[8] In 2014-15 his training focused on speed, whereas during the two years prior were almost pure aerobic training.[11]
