Trey Freeman has announced his retirement from competitive swimming.

The University of Florida senior has been an NCAA qualifier all three years and scored in three events last year for the Gators.

Trey Freeman made the announcement on social Instagram:

“Today, I retire from competitive swimming.

I am grateful for the all the highs and lows of the 16 years I spent in the water. I owe more thanks than I could ever possibly mention. So, to everyone that has been part of this chapter in my life, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If anyone needs me I will always be around, but for now I will be sitting on my porch with my dog.

Much love,
#QuitterTrey”
