    Simone Manuel
    Sep 24 2025

    Olympic gold medalist, American record holder, and world champion Simone Manuel returns to Unfiltered Waters for an in-person sit-down in Austin. She traces the climb back from overtraining and the breakthrough of dipping under 53 again with a 52 for the first time since 2019. We dig into what really happened at Worlds—the team illness that rattled camp, the timing of outside commentary—and what support swimmers need from USA Swimming. Simone opens up about the resources and next steps with Bob, from prioritizing underwaters to a more deliberate, data-driven routine, and looks ahead to LA 2028.
