Held at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre from February 21 to 23, Nash set new country records in the men's 17 and over 50m and 100m breaststroke events.
He also broke the country record in the men's 17 and over 200m breaststroke but was pipped at the post by 0.02 seconds for the win.
A runner-up finish in the men's 17 and over individual medley rounded out another successful meet for Nash, who has his focus set on a number of major upcoming events.
In April he'll compete at the Australian Age Swimming Championships in Perth, while in June he'll trial for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in Adelaide.
While at 18 Nash isn't putting any pressure on himself to qualify for the Olympics just yet, he told the Great Lakes Advocate in December that he was looking forward to testing himself against Australia's top swimmers.
"It'll be good to see how I go against the best of the best," he said.
"I've just got to swim my best and see how I go."
