Bringman joins the Blue Devils after a decade of success at the club and collegiate levels.
Bringman arrives in Durham after serving as the Assistant Head Coach at Cornell, after being promoted to that role after the 2024 season. During her time with the Big Red, she helped guide the team to historic performances, highlighted by 20 school records and 95 program top 10 performances.
In 2025-26, Bringman helped lead the Blue Devils to a t-21st finish at the NCAA Women’s Championship and a fourth-place finish for the men at the CSCAA National Invitational Championships. During the successful campaign, Duke set seven program records. On the women’s side, Tatum Wall set records in the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle, Ali Pfaff became the fastest Duke swimmer in the 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke, and Kaelyn Gridley broke the 100-breaststroke record. For the men, Charlie Kulp set the record in the 500 freestyle and Justin Wong set the record in the 100 butterfly.
As a team, the men posted wins over Marymount, Boston College and Davidson. The women took down East Carolina, Boston College, Davidson, North Carolina, Northwestern and Georgia Tech.
In the summer of 2023, Bringman was selected to the U.S. coaching staff at the World University Games in Chengdu, China, where she supported top-level collegiate athletes on the international stage.
Before joining Cornell, Bringman spent nearly a decade leading the Lake Shore Swim Club in Cleveland, where she doubled the team's membership, coached multiple athletes to regional and national rankings, and was named Lake Erie Coach of the Year in 2021. She began her coaching career as the Head Coach at Fairview High School.
A swimmer at Pacific University, Bringman was a school record holder in the 100 and 200 backstroke, multiple relays, and served as a team captain. She earned her B.S. in Exercise Science.Â
