A bolt from the blue — like, the water — for this Wednesday: Swimming legend Katie Ledecky will train with the Florida Gators for the 2024 Olympics, and also serve as a volunteer coach for the program.
Ledecky, who hails from Bethesda, Md., completed her degree at Stanford this year and, after swimming in her third Olympic Games, is taking the opportunity to be closer to home and family while training for the next phase of her swimming career.
”I’m excited to be a part of the University of Florida’s world-class swimming and diving program and train for the 2024 Olympics with Coach Anthony Nesty, and the top-tier mid-distance and distance training group,” said Ledecky.
