Olympic champion Lilly King will swim final US meet at IU Natatorium in Indianapolis
Six-time Olympic swimming medalist Lilly King announced on Instagram that she will retire after this season.
King, an Evansville native who won NCAA titles while at Indiana University, said in her announcement that she "accomplished everything I have ever wanted in this sport. I feel fulfilled."
King's final meet on U.S. soil will be the Toyota National Championships at IU Natatorium. The event will be held in Indianapolis, June 3-7.
"I have been racing in the IU Natatorium since I was 10 years old," King said. "From state meets, to NCAAs, Nationals, and anything in between, this pool has been my home. I didn't quite make it 20 years (only 18) of racing in Indy, but this is as close as I'm going to get! I look forward to racing in front of a home crowd one last time."
King won three gold medals at the 2016 and 2024 Olympics. She also has two silver medals and a bronze medal from the 2020 games. At the 2024 Olympics in Paris, King helped the women's 4x100-meter medley relay set a world record of 3:49.63 in the final event.
