Ryan Lochte
Ryan Lochte is a champion swimmer, but his career was marred by several controversies, including one at the 2016 Rio Olympics when he falsely claimed he was attacked. It cost him his spot on the team. However, he still has won 12 Olympic medals and in 2019, he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. He has now founded his own swim event called the International Age Group Championship.

Katie Ledecky
Katie Ledecky has established herself as a dominant force in swimming, holding records in several events such as the 1500-meter, 800-meter, and 400-meter freestyle. With an impressive tally of 14 world records to her name, many of which she broke herself, Ledecky’s career trajectory suggests that she may continue to smash records for years to come. She first burst onto the scene at just 15 years old during the 2012 London Olympics, where she clinched a gold medal in the 800-meter freestyle race. Ledecky continued to shine at the 2016 Rio Games, winning four more gold medals. Her outstanding achievements have earned her a spot in the Associated Press’s Female Athlete of the Decade voting, where she was ranked behind only Simone Biles and Serena Williams.
