Swimming’s Most Influential Figures in the Sport for 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

(From the December issues of Swimming World Magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n

Our sport is graced with great people and organizations. As appropriate for this time of year, we want to recognize those (in random order) who are making an impact in aquatics. Thanks to the following for their contributions and inspiration:<\/p>\n

Lia Neal, Simone Manuel, Reece Whitley, Cullen Jones and Natalie Hinds<\/h3>\n

In the face of racial injustice and systemic racism across the country, headlined by the death of George Floyd, leadership was displayed by America\u2019s leading black swimmers. They used their voices to speak out and demand change, with Whitley stating: \u201cSilence in the face of injustice is complicity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allison Schmitt<\/h3>\n

As she continues to chase a fourth Olympic invitation, Schmitt stayed true to her crusade of educating others about the importance of mental health. She spoke publicly about her battles with depression, and the need for those experiencing mental-health struggles to receive necessary support.<\/p>\n

Anthony Ervin<\/h3>\n

The International Olympic Committee, through its Rule 50, prohibits athletes from making political, religious or racial demonstrations at the Olympic Games. Olympic champion Anthony Ervin said that rule \u201cwon\u2019t fly,\u201d and athletes needed to have their voices heard while on the largest platform they will see.<\/p>\n

Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)<\/h3>\n

In a victory for clean sport, the CAS<\/a> told Chinese Olympic champion Sun Yang\u2014and others unwilling to play by the rules\u2014that their actions will not be tolerated. After Sun engaged in a contentious evening with doping officials, a night which included Sun\u2019s bodyguard breaking a vial of the swimmer\u2019s blood, CAS handed Sun an eight-year ban.<\/p>\n

Don Talbot<\/h3>\n

The legendary Australian coach passed away in early November, leaving behind a grand legacy. Talbot\u2019s death reminded the world of his impact on the sport, as the taskmaster enjoyed success in his homeland, the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n

Save Tribe Swimming<\/h3>\n

The group was formed after William & Mary University announced it was cutting the men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming programs. Through its fight, STS first convinced the school to bring back women\u2019s swimming and battled on to the point of saving the men\u2019s program, too.<\/p>\n

Chris Plumb<\/h3>\n

Other coaches might get more national credit, but as the coach of Carmel High School and Carmel Swim Club, Plumb produces spectacular talent on a regular basis. This year, his girls\u2019 and boys\u2019 high school programs were honored as Swimming World\u2019s Teams of the Decade, a tribute to their consistency as national powers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
