The longtime member of the United States national team\u2014and a leader in her latter years\u2014remains active in the sport in multiple ways.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hyperbole tends to be too freely woven into the fabric of the sport world, with words such as \u201cphenom\u201d and \u201cprodigy\u201d thrown around with ease. Selection of these descriptors should be much more prudent, time given for the athlete to grow and truly demonstrate whether he\/she will emerge as an elite performer in the chosen sport.<\/p>\n<p>But every once in a while, the monikers are appropriate. A youthful star will wow the world and, indeed, enjoy a breakout that not only is ahead of its time, but also foreshadows years of success.

So, try to digest this statistic from Beisel\u2019s career: From 2006 through her retirement in 2017, Beisel represented the U.S. at 12 consecutive international meets.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_210825\" style=\"width: 436px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210825\" data-attachment-id=\"210825\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/whats-next-for-three-time-olympian-elizabeth-beisel\/elizabeth-beisel-26\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/elizabeth-beisel-2016-o-trials-10648-e1583287115650.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,667\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

Bick<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As a 13-year-old, Beisel qualified for Team USA duty at the 2006 Pan Pacific Championships in Victoria, British Columbia. Turning 14 during the competition, Beisel placed fifth in the 200 backstroke and jumpstarted what would be a full-circle career in the Red, White and Blue. As a newcomer to the global scene, Beisel learned from\u2014and was supported by\u2014the likes of <strong>Margaret Hoelzer<\/strong>, <strong>Natalie Coughlin<\/strong> and <strong>Whitney Myers<\/strong>. Simultaneously, she forged a tightknit friendship with <strong>Cullen Jones<\/strong>, who emerged as a \u201cbig brother\u201d of sorts.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Beisel transitioned into a leadership role, and mentored younger swimmers. These days, she recognizes her good fortune and a tradition within USA Swimming: Give back, and take care of the next generation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI totally get it now,\u201d she said in a recent interview. \u201cAs a 30-year-old, I think about how hard it must have been to connect with a 14-year-old. I was lucky to have all those people in my life. I was surrounded by incredible people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beisel\u2019s career was nothing short of stellar, as she qualified for three Olympiads (2008, 2012, 2016), the 2012 Games in London producing a silver medal in the 400 individual medley and a bronze medal in the 200 backstroke. There were also three medals at the World Championships, including gold in the 400 IM in 2011 in Shanghai. She added four medals at the Pan Pacific Championships.<\/p>\n<p>An NCAA champion for the University of Florida, Beisel wrapped up her competitive career at the 2017 World Champs in Budapest. She was the only female swimmer to compete on the U.S. national team for 12 consecutive years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many memories come to the surface when I think back,\u201d Beisel said. \u201cI\u2019d say my favorite, the one that brings the most joy, was making the (2008) Olympic team at 15 (as the youngest member of the team). I was just this kid from Rhode Island, and it was such an incredible feeling. It\u2019s probably the happiest I\u2019ve ever been in the sport. And from the non-competitive side, I loved seeing everyone at meets, being in the warm-down pool and socializing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RETIREMENT LIFE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the go during her water-based days as an athlete, Beisel has been active on several fronts in retirement. In addition to serving as an ambassador for the USA Swimming Foundation, Beisel has stayed close to the sport in a broadcasting role. Working for NBC and ESPN, she has served as an on-air analyst and on-deck interviewer for meets, including the Olympic Games, United States Olympic Trials, NCAA Championships and several conference champs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love doing the on-deck interviews,\u201d Beisel said. \u201cI get to mingle and sustain my rapport with the athletes. I\u2019m really wringing the towel on my career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beisel has also played a major role in the fight against cancer, a disease that took the life of her father, <strong>Ted Beisel<\/strong>, in 2021. Partnering with Swim Across America, Beisel has been at the head of the fundraiser, \u201cBlock Cancer,\u201d which raised more than $665,000 when the Team USA veteran became the first woman to complete the 10.4-mile swim from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/elizabeth-beisel-completes-block-island-swim-raises-more-than-130000-for-cancer-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mainland Rhode Island to Block Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Racing in open-water events has allowed Beisel to satisfy her competitive urges and stay in good shape. This summer, she plans to attend men\u2019s practices at Brown University. The offer, extended by Coach <strong>Kevin Norman<\/strong>, will provide the team with an up-close look at a world-class athlete, and give Beisel the chance to stay fit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing an athlete, I miss some things,\u201d she said. \u201cI miss getting my ass kicked!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIG PLANS AHEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Late last year, Beisel announced her engagement to <strong>Jack Nichting<\/strong>. Nichting works for U.S. Aid and focuses on providing humanitarian assistance around the world. The couple is looking at a 2024 wedding date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are moving at a glacial pace in terms of planning,\u201d Beisel said. \u201cWe\u2019re thinking the fall of \u201924 for a date, and we\u2019ve been hunkering down in finding a venue. I\u2019ve always wanted a beach wedding, and Rhode Island gives us that chance. We\u2019re grateful that we\u2019re moving at a slow pace. It\u2019s given us a chance to soak it all in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEAVING HER MARK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the career of Elizabeth Beisel is assessed, it is marked by greatness. Of course, excellence as an athlete stands out. Simply, her achievements are eye-popping. But she has also demonstrated brilliance as a role model who has guided rising stars and has asserted herself as a leader who carried herself with grace.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Beisel has stayed close to the swimming world is a bonus. She has emerged as a well-respected analyst and on-deck interviewer, and her work with the USA Swimming Foundation and battle against cancer should be commended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love being part of this sport,\u201d Beisel said.<\/p>\n<p>The sport is lucky to have her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catching Up With&#8230;Elizabeth Beisel: Former Team USA Star Living Life to the Fullest In the latest edition of \u201cCatching Up,\u201d Swimming World chatted with three-time Olympian, Elizabeth Beisel.
