Matt Grevers<\/strong> couldn\u2019t contain his excitement when he made the Olympic team in 2012. Sure, he was the top backstroker in the U.S. coming into the meet \u2014 and an Olympian in 2008 \u2014 but he wasn\u2019t sure he was going to make it.<\/p>\n

Fast forward four years and the tables were completely turned.<\/p>\n

Grevers was sure this time. He was still the top backstroker in the U.S. and poised to make a third consecutive Olympic team \u2014 something he was planning on this time.<\/p>\n

It made the devastation even greater when he finished third in the 100 backstroke at trials, forced to watch a changing of the guard in the event \u2014 and forced to watch the Olympics from home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is such a different build up mentally than I have had before. I think 2016 was a whole different game. I have been knocked down before, but I have never been so mentally sure then been knocked down. I swam bad and the implications were huge,\u201d Matt Grevers told Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cI had set the world record in 2015 and I thought I was on the A game. To not make it was a very big disappointment. There is learning from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Already well into his 30s, his career was at a crossroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grevers took time away from the water to figure out what he wanted to do next. He and his wife Annie welcomed their first (then second) child into the world and everything changed \u2014 and changed for the better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI finally found my breaking point in 2016 where I had build so much pressure on myself it was finally too much. I have kind of gone the other way the past four years,\u201d he said. \u201cI was very close to retiring. I started playing volleyball and I really started thinking about doing that. Swimming was where I was decompressing. I had such a good support system. My wife Annie has been there. She was fourth at trials. She gave me so much perspective. I really came back for the therapy side of things. It is where I felt comfortable, that water hug. It is a very comfortable place for me. I was on my own for a while swimming and I realized how much I still enjoyed this. It brought me back. I think some people kind of resent it when they don\u2019t accomplish their goals. I found my love again for swimming. Not at trials, but swimming the way I was afterward. It was very therapeutic. I have been so blessed with the positivity I am surrounded by. Some of those bad seasons make the good one\u2019s so much better. Everything has to hit and you just feel so blessed.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI think I found my place in 2017. I truly enjoyed it. It wasn\u2019t the nerves, which I had success with, but it was different. It was so awesome. Swimming could have been this the whole time? It could have been this fun and this rewarding without the pressure? It is such a different mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n

Especially when you add in being a parent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe out look of being a parent is putting everything into perspective,\u201d Grevers said. \u201cSwimming is everything, then when you have kids and are forced outside of the swimming bubble and it makes the bubble a little smaller. You can\u2019t let your mood affect your kids after a bad race or bad practice. You can put your energy into being a good parent even if things aren\u2019t going well in the water. I am addicted to improvement, so improvement as a father is a win.\u201d<\/p>\n

At age 36, Grevers is still looking for that improvement in the water. He will compete at his sixth Olympic trials next week in Omaha.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are all very different. The first one was no expectations. I was 15. I was just excited to be at a meet with the huge names. It obviously progressed from there,\u201d he said. \u201cThis time, I think I can do well, but if not, that is OK, too.\u201d
\nBut he isn\u2019t the only elite swimmer in his 30s competing, something that Grevers is thrilled with for the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur generation, we were around a long time \u2014 together since 2004. It was a young sport when we started and no one was retiring (for years),\u201d he said. \u201cWe were loving it and being pretty successful. The age limit kept getting pushed back. There is more money involved in the sport now, and now we have the ISL. We are really going to see the longevity of the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Grevers continues to thrive with longevity, his training is completely different.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hard. Training-wise, I could do what I was doing last year, but harder. I think I have the same speed, but to push myself in the sets I used to do is just so much more painful. I am hurting the next day way more,\u201d he said. \u201cThe recovery is so much different. There can be success at an older age but coaches have to work with recovery different. Hard sets and the next day I am done. I don\u2019t think that means your top times will be any worse. Tony Ervin winning at 35 proves that. I think there are ways to stay competitive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat four-month break from COVID destroyed me. It was so hard to get back into it. I had never taken that long of a break because I hated that. That is why I never want to stop swimming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grevers will swim the 100 backstroke, 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle at trials (he also qualified in the 200 back), though he feels the 100 backstroke is the event he has a real shot at making the team in.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally the 100 back \u2014 I am a one-trick pony. Maybe the 100 free if I can draft off of someone and do something,\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p>\n

And smiling about swimming is something Grevers is still doing. He is enjoying life and his sport and ready to challenge for another Olympic team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like my legacy to be someone who found success while truly enjoying the sport,\u201d Matt Grevers said. \u201cIs it truly that successful if you aren\u2019t happy doing it? Earlier in my career I reached goals, but I don\u2019t know if it was truly a success without being happy about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Grevers is truly happy, which is already a success, and will look to add to that on swimming\u2019s biggest stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
