**************************************<\/p>\n

Natalie Hinds, a 20-time All-American at Florida from 2012-16, took a break from swimming after finishing no higher than 40th at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials. After returning two years later to train at Georgia, the 28-year-old now has an Olympic medal from Tokyo and a brand new outlook on the sport and her future.<\/em><\/p>\n

Natalie Hinds<\/strong> moved to the University of Georgia in 2018 determined to be a better version of herself. That meant as a swimmer, after a two-year hiatus, one she didn\u2019t feel notable enough to announce publicly beyond slipping into coaching and a job in digital media. It meant in all the ancillary aspects of swimming, in her approach to nutrition and sleep, in her mindset around the pool.<\/p>\n

And, as she browsed an Athens Barnes & Noble looking for a hobby to spark her curiosity and balance her time in the water, it meant broadening who she wanted to be as a young adult.<\/p>\n

\u201cI vowed that I wouldn\u2019t be the same person,\u201d Hinds says. \u201cSo I was like, I think I need to try something new.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the checkout-aisle display, Hinds had her choice: a painting set, a weaving kit, an intro to macram\u00e9. She opted to give weaving a whirl, with no idea how the strands of her new hobby would intertwine with the swimming journey she aspired to.<\/p>\n

Three years later, Hinds hasn\u2019t just achieved the most tangible goal of her comeback, earning a bronze medal with the U.S. women\u2019s 400 freestyle relay at the Tokyo Olympics<\/a>. She\u2019s also attained the more ineffable aim of her career\u2019s second phase: a greater sense of peace with the sport and of reaching her potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still the same Natalie,\u201d she says, \u201cbut the way I approach swimming and life, I do it very differently now. I\u2019m more grateful than anything. I\u2019m always looking for what\u2019s positive about the situation, whereas in 2016, I took a lot of stuff for granted and was pretty negative all around.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warp and Weft of a Comeback<\/h3>\n

By the time the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials had wrapped, Hinds was as much done with swimming as she felt it was done with her.<\/p>\n

She\u2019d compiled a tremendous career at the University of Florida (where she is back training), twice the SEC champion in the 100 free and once in the 100 butterfly as the conference\u2019s Women\u2019s Freshman of the Year in 2013. A 20-time All-American, the Midland, Texas, native owns a place in history, joining Simone Manuel<\/strong> and Lia Neal<\/strong> on the podium in the 100 free at NCAAs in 2015, the first all-Black podium in an NCAA event.<\/p>\n

But Hinds never felt able to translate short-pool success to long course meters. At Trials in 2016, she finished no higher than 40th (in the 100 free) in three events, then returned to Gainesville to finish a degree in telecommunications, and walked away from the pool.<\/p>\n

She went to Atlanta to work for Bleacher Report, exploring an interest in creative digital spaces. But the itch to return to swimming returned. The nagging sensation she describes was, above all, about reaching her potential in a way she felt she hadn\u2019t yet.<\/p>\n

So in the fall of 2018, she joined the postgrad group at Athens Bulldog Swim Club. Alongside pros like Olivia Smoliga<\/strong> and Melanie<\/strong> Margalis<\/strong>, Hinds was reinvigorated, finding new ways to learn, grow and enjoy the journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel as though a lot of my growth happened in my first year in Athens,\u201d she said. \u201cI was rusty in terms of training…and it was very overwhelming to go back to that, especially at such a yardage-heavy program. It took a lot to get used to. I think after a year of doing that and being with teammates like Olivia and Mel and being able to see how other people train, I was able to adapt a style that helped me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stitching a New Story<\/h3>\n

The first major meet of Hinds comeback came at nationals in 2019. As she prepped, she found a strange thing happening.<\/p>\n

The more time she spent working on fiber art, the less anxious she felt. Hours would melt away as she experimented with textures and colors. She was still \u201creally bad at it,\u201d she says, imitating other textile artists and honing her style. That process, unexpectedly, helped her in the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a lot of emotions were coming through,\u201d she says. \u201cWeaving, I learned, really helped me block out my brain from grinding on stuff that I wasn\u2019t going to fix sitting in my living room. It\u2019s a nice outlet for me, and I wasn\u2019t good at it, so I naturally became obsessed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same applied during the COVID-19 pandemic. She spent three months back home in Texas, her mom offering half of her quilting room as a workspace. With time to do nothing but \u201cride the Peloton and eat and weave,\u201d Hinds dove deeper. She turned to the medium in the summer of 2020 to express the anger and sadness of a summer of racial reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During that spring, she launched Loominary Design, an online showcase for her work in weaving and punch needle. What started as noodling around became a place for commissions for her \u201chomey, textured pieces.\u201d \u201cPeople were like, \u2018I\u2019ll pay you for that,\u2019\u201d Hinds says. \u201cAnd I was like, yeah, who am I to turn down free money?\u201d<\/p>\n

Equanimity at the loom translated to the pool. Nationals in 2019 were a resounding success, Hinds finishing fifth in the 50 free and 100 free. She was an inaugural member of the Cali Condors in ISL, the admitted homebody getting out of her comfort zone in an environment that stoked her competitive fires and intrigued her culturally by getting to visit different countries and cultures.<\/p>\n

By the delayed Trials in 2021, Hinds arrived in Omaha knowing two outcomes were possible. She would either qualify for Tokyo and have six weeks to devote to that, or she would do her best and come up short. Either way, the work she\u2019d put in gave her a sense of peace to accept whatever came.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth of those options, I was OK with by the time I got to Trials because I was at that time OK with my career,\u201d she said. \u201c…I knew I had done everything. There wasn\u2019t a doubt in my mind, so that\u2019s why I was so at peace with whatever was going to happen because I honestly gave it my best shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Veteran Rookie<\/h3>\n

Hinds had to wait until the end of the Trials program for her events. She finished 11th in the 100 fly, an early indication of form, and felt strong in tying Smoliga for first in the 100 free semis.<\/p>\n

When she touched fourth in the final in 53.48, 36-hundredths behind Abbey Weitzeil<\/strong> but secure in a relay spot, she held her emotions until after her interviews were done, knowing how profound the upwelling would be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I had experienced five years in a matter of point-two seconds of emotions, and so it was very, very overwhelming,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like I carried that feeling with me all the way into the (Olympic) Village. There are times when I was in camp and I was like, \u2018I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m at camp to go to the Olympics.\u2019 It was such a weird feeling, and it\u2019s a feeling I had to put on the backburner when we went into prelims and went into finals because obviously it\u2019s a swim meet like any other meet, and we had a job to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hinds left Omaha feeling \u201clike someone took a sumo wrestler off my shoulders.\u201d It meant she could enjoy the Tokyo experience, focused and in the moment. Representing the American team, Hinds was both among a plethora of Olympic rookies, but, at 27, one of the oldest members. It allowed her to see Tokyo<\/a> with the joy of a rookie but the savvied filter of a veteran.<\/p>\n

With her Olympic legacy sealed, Hinds is living the swimming life she hoped for. That confidence allows her to plot her post-athletic future. She wants to be her own boss, to share what textile art has done for her and to continue to create. And she can see the path toward that once she\u2019s done with a swimming journey that she\u2019ll keep at as long as it\u2019s enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find joy in making stuff, and I find joy in helping people,\u201d she says, \u201cso any time I can marry the two is a very rewarding feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
