To many, Ledecky feels like she's been around forever, despite the fact that she's only 27 years old. Today, we look back on Katie's career and highlight some of the incredible accomplishments that make her the GOAT of women's swimming. Tags:

When is that last time you swam as fast as you could for say, 25 meters?
If it's been a bit, give it a try, and tell me how you feel right after? I'm going to forecast your response and bet that 99% of you will describe a feeling of being absolutely gassed. While swimming fast can leave you soon after you stop training, being able to swim recreationally is something I really enjoy. Speaking of enjoyment, I also love reading stories of triumph, overcoming the odds, and sticking to a training plan when the external noise creates some doubt in your mind. Today, we're doing to provide some recommendations on books to improve your swimming. If you're like me and don't swim competitively anymore, we're also going to highlight some of our favorite stories from lives in the pool. Whether you're looking to improve your training or just enjoy a good story, you'll be better for having read one of these books. Tags:
