National age-group record holder and former USC swimmer Isabella Rongione<\/strong> announced her retirement from swimming this week, opening up about her struggles with mental health.<\/p>\n

Rongione made the announcement via Instagram<\/a>. She last competed in the fall semester in 2018 for USC<\/a> as a sophomore and opted out of the 2019-20 season to prepare for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials. But after a suicide attempt, she was admitted to treatment in January 2019 and has \u201cconstantly been in treatment for my mental health.\u201d That struggle has prevented her from returning to the pool.<\/p>\n
