Lilly King Swims in Indiana Pond to Train for 2021 Olympics with More Swimmers

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Lilly King is training for the 2021 Summer Games in an Indiana pond since all of the local swimming pools are closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

King, an Indiana University product, told David Woods of the Indianapolis Star she's been working out twice per week in Howard Lake since being kicked out of a pool in her hometown of Evansville. She's joined by six other members of the IU pro training group.

"Definitely never thought I would be swimming open water, coming out and training in the pond," she said.
