In addition to having products I love and use, it\u2019s a dream come true to be working with such a wonderful team and company. I can\u2019t wait to share the next chapter in my journey with the Arena family!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A native of Anchorage, Jacoby started swimming at age 6 at her local club. She had planned to attend the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 as a spectator, but the postponement by a year by the COVID-19 pandemic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/lydia-jacoby-the-rapid-rise-from-alaskan-unknown-to-gold-medalist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allowed her to continue flourishing<\/a> as a swimmer to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/rising-alaskan-star-lydia-jacoby-confident-ready-to-contend-at-olympic-trials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">there on her own merit<\/a>. During the pandemic, her family rented an apartment in Anchorage so that she could train at the partially open facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be happier to add Lydia to our team,\u201d said <strong>Mark Pinger,<\/strong> GM of arena North America.\u00a0 \u201cClearly she is an extraordinary talent, as the past year has shown, but there\u2019s also so much more to her: she\u2019s determined, courageous, positive, upbeat, these attributes are part of her core, as they are with arena, and we couldn\u2019t be more optimistic about this partnership.\u00a0 Having just had the amazing opportunity to spend time with Lydia and her family in her home town of Seward, we are equally excited about Lydia the person as we are about Lydia the swimmer and we believe she will be a great ambassador for the sport.\u00a0 Seeing her setup with access to only a 25-yard pool, we believe her future in swimming will be very bright and we consider ourselves lucky to be by her side and support her as we emerge from a period that has been very difficult for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacoby is the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/college-swimmers-now-profiting-off-their-nil-rights-good-for-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a long line of swimmers<\/a> who have availed themselves of the new NIL rules to profit while in college.
