Tatjana Schoenmaker Named Swimming World African Female Swimmer of the Year; On Road to Further Stardom Tatjana Schoenmaker was four swims into the Tokyo Olympics before her post-race confidence caught up to her in-pool excellence. By that point, Schoenmaker had bagged a silver medal in the women’s 100-meter breaststroke and two Olympic records. The 24-year-old declared from the podium that she “can’t be any more happy” with winning the first South African women’s swimming medal in 21 years. Then she set about immediately testing that assertion. |

Swimming World NCAA Male Swim of the Year: Kieran Smith Ties 500 Freestyle American Record During the 2021 college swimming championship season, no American records were broken, but one record was tied in an exciting showdown at the SEC Championships in late February. The University of Florida’s Kieran Smith had set the American record in the 500 free as a sophomore with a 4:06.32, breaking the mark by more than a second in the process, but he had yet to win an NCAA title as the 2020 meet was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. |

| | U.S. Coach of the Year: Gregg Troy Guided Caeleb Dressel to Olympic Stardom During his high school years in Jacksonville, Caeleb Dressel was already one of the most talented sprinters in the country. Even before he became a Florida Gator, he was the only 18-and-under swimmer to ever swim an 18-second 50 freestyle, and he had the markings of a talented sprinter capable of developing into a standout international performer. But then, Dressel took a lengthy break, and his future in the sport was in question. He was not sure if he was actually going to swim for Florida after all. |

| | Katie Ledecky Maintains Excellence As Swimming World American Female Swimmer of the Year Katie Ledecky’s super-human feats in the pool are easily taken for granted. Only Ledecky could win two gold medals and two silver medals at the Olympics and be asked if she’s disappointed. Only Ledecky could utterly dominate an Olympic final yet still be confronted by the lack of a world record as somehow underwhelming, as if they’re as easy as she’s made them look the last decade. |

| | Adam Peaty Launches ‘Project Immortal’ In Seach For Time That Can Never Be Touched
The last time Adam Peaty designated a name for the work logged by the British star and coach Mel Marshall, the joint effort was dubbed “Project 56.” In that pursuit, Peaty sought to become the first man in history to crack the 57-second barrier in the 100-meter breaststroke. It was a lofty goal to set, particularly since no man other than Peaty – at the time – had even dipped under the 58-second threshold. |
