USA Swimming Interviews Simone

A Conversation With Simone Manuel by USA Swimming

2013 was an amazing year for Simone. She won gold by swimming in the preliminaries for the 400 freestyle relay at the FINA World Championships, earned the fastest 50 freestyle time (24.80) for U.S. women in 2013, and also anchored in the tiebreaking mixed 200 medley relay to help the U.S. claim victory in the Duel in the Pool competition. Yet despite her outstanding year’s accomplishments, the 17-year-old has a lot more to look forward to in 2014. She will be graduating high school, finishing up her last year swimming for her club the First Colony Swim Team, Inc. (FCST-TX), and will be joining the women’s swim team at Stanford University this fall. USA Swimming caught up with the young star during her last club visit to the Olympic Training Center.
