Possibly one of the best swims of my career! (~open for debate~)

One year from today, the women’s 1500m free will be swum at Olympic Trials for the first time EVER!!! Who else is excited?!

I’d like to thank my teammates, my coach Greg Meehan, Dr. Jim Lynch, and all the USA Swimming coaches and support staff who gave me a chance to race. Thank you to my family, friends, and fans for all your love and positivity.
Some campers just asked if I was a Stanford student for a picture for a scavenger hunt. I asked if being an Olympian gets them bonus points. Welcome to Stanford.
NYC, you’ve been incredible. 🤩
Thanks
@NYSE

@EmpireStateBldg
for having me light up the building last night (and for the incredible views)! 😍
The performances & pride Kobe exhibited as a member of
@TeamUSA
will never be forgotten. He supported & cheered on his fellow athletes. His power, tenacity, competitive spirit, leadership, & smile will live on forever. RIP Kobe, Gianna, & all who perished in today's tragedy.
When you take a photo of campus and the nondescript bicyclist in the foreground turns out to be a 5x Olympic gold medalist. (👏 for the helmet.)

Olympic team, beat the defending Olympic champion to win her first 🥇 medal in what would become typical Katie Ledecky fashion. 🇺🇸
I am expecting to graduate from Stanford this Fall with a major in Psychology and a minor in Political Science. I know there's an election joke with that one somewhere.
Thank you

About 18 years ago, I started swimming year-round and I still think it’s the most enjoyable sport, and one that teaches an important life skill. Katie Ducky and I are hoping that lots of young kids learn to swim this Summer...and have fun!
