Elizabeth Beisel swam at her first world championships in 2007 at age 14. She plans to make this year’s world championships her last at age 24.
Beisel, a three-time Olympian and double medalist, is expected to retire after competing in one more 400m individual medley in Budapest in July. She teased it on social media Tuesday and confirmed it to Swimswam.com.
Beisel made her sixth straight world team by finishing second in the 400m IM on Thursday at the USA Swimming Nationals, part of the TeamUSA Summer Champions Series, presented by Comcast.
