Actually being a National Team champion isn’t required — but don’t tell that to Elizabeth Beisel. She retired in 2017 with nine major international medals from the Olympic Games, World Championships, and Pan Pacific Championships. Now she’s pulling double duty. “The Champions Club matters to me because I’ve been an athlete that relied on funding,” said Beisel. “So now as a non-athlete, of course I’m going to be a member. I believe in what they do with that money. I’ve been on the receiving end.” Her will to support the sport of swimming, however, doesn’t stop there. As a USA Swimming Foundation Ambassador, she has taken part in SwimWays National Learn to Swim Day, led hands-on clinics with kids, and in 2016, Beisel formally joined the Foundation’s Board of Directors. She even travels the country to visit with donors, imparting her own unique insights while listening closely to those of the sport’s most ardent supporters. “I’m honored to share my message,” Beisel said. “I have such a passion for teaching kids to be safer around the water, but also for providing National Team funding. It can be an expensive sport, so the financial “Not every champion is going to support really makes a difference in getting have a gold medal. Swimming our swimmers what they need to train and helps people from all walks of compete at the highest levels.” life and provides the tools to be a champion outside the pool too.” Champions come in many forms, and from many avenues. True to form, Elizabeth Beisel wasn’t content to rest on her world-class competitive laurels. Now she’s making Alex supported Nic Fink through the 2017 Donor Athlete waves in a whole new way.

  • Rowdy Gaines(Pdf)
    Profile: Member of the 1980 Olympic Swim Team that boycotted the Olympics held in Moscow, then came back to win three gold medals in the 1984 Olympic Games in the 100m free, the 400m free relay and the 400m medley relay. Rowdy Gaines life is one of inspiration and courage. Gaines, born in Winter Haven, Florida, didn't start swimming until the age of 17. He tried other sports as youngster but was either to short, to slow, or not coordinated enough. As he recalls, "I wanted to play football but was so intimidated by the size of the other players." A shy boy growing up, Gaines found the solitude of swimming laps to be just what the doctor ordered. But his shyness quickly dissipated with his new found swimming success. After two years of rapid improvement as a high school swimmer, he was offered a scholarship to swim for Auburn University and under legendary coach Richard Quick. If it hadn't been for the 1980 Olympic boycott, Gaines might very well be one of America's most famous Olympians. He was favored to win 4 Olympic Gold Medals in 1980. He had broken 11 World Records. But as he says today, while disappointed by the decision to boycott, he supported President Carter and the U.S.A 100%. With every set back in his life, Gaines has persevered. He graduated from Auburn in 1981 and thought his swimming career was over. Professional swimming didn't exist at that time. He left the water for nearly a year, worked in his dad's gas station, and went through post-collegiate depression thinking he'd missed his dream to swim in the Olympics.
