Australian Dual Olympic Breaststroker Jenna Strauch Calls Time on Spectacular International Career<\/strong><\/p>\n

DUAL Australian Olympian, Jenna Strauch has officially called time on her international swimming career today after the world-class breaststroker signed off on her six years with the Australian Dolphins.<\/p>\n

And the Gold Coast-based Victorian departs the sport following a wild finale to the Paris 2024 Olympic program.<\/p>\n

In the last event of the program at La Defense Arena, Strauch and her teammates in the women\u2019s 4x100m medley – Kaylee McKeown, Emma McKeon and Mollie O’Callaghan, snared a silver medal and then celebrated by jumping in the pool while wearing their tracksuits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know it at the time, but that moment was a perfect end to my career,\u201d Strauch said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a moment of pure joy and to be with some of my best friends \u2026 after winning a silver medal that I never dreamed of, well that was a perfect sign-off.\u201d<\/p>\n

She took up swimming primarily as a way of having fun with her friends, at the age of 11, with Victoria\u2019s Bendigo East Swimming Club,<\/p>\n

The daughter of former Carlton AFL player Dean Strauch found herself loving the competitive side of the sport.<\/p>\n

In 2012 Jenna\u2019s family made an incredible sacrifice for her to pursue her swimming dreams.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mum, Jane, and my brothers, Ryan and Tom, left our home in Bendigo to move to Melbourne so I could train with Melbourne Vicentre and attend Korowa Anglican Girls\u2019 School,\u201d Strauch said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Strauch quickly\u00a0found herself competing at the World Junior Championships.But she then became ill from parasites and was forced to take well over a year out of the pool.<\/p>\n

Recovering in 2015, Strauch made the move from Melbourne to train on the Gold Coast in 2016, with Richard Scarce at\u00a0Bond University and later Miami Swimming Club\u00a0and under his guidance she forced her way into the Dolphins side for the World Short Course Swimming titles in China in 2018.<\/p>\n

A year later she secured her first open National title in the 200m breaststroke and was selected for the Gwangju World Swimming Championships in South Korea, where she made it through to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Then at the Tokyo Olympic trials in Adelaide she swam \u201ctough\u201d, holding herself together after placing third in the 100m breaststroke, to dominate the 200m breaststroke, recording a personal best time. In her Olympic debut in Tokyo, she qualified as 10th fastest.<\/p>\n

Her major breakthrough came at the Budapest World Swimming Championships in 2022, when she collected the first individual medal of her career, a silver in the 200m breaststroke.<\/p>\n

She also claimed a silver for her role in the 4x100m medley relay. \u00a0 A few weeks later, she again featured on the podium, winning silver in the 200m breaststroke at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham behind reigning Olympic champion Tatjana Smith (nee Schoenmaker) of South Africa.<\/p>\n

Strauch, who graduated from Bond University with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science in 2019,\u00a0was forced to withdraw from the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, with a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Strauch, 28, finished her career with 13 international podiums and today Swimming Australia and Dolphins head coach Rohan Taylor paid tribute to the experienced athlete leader who will continue to sit on the athletes\u2019 commission.<\/p>\n

Taylor said: \u201cI\u2019ve known Jenna (Strauch) since she was a talented age group swimmer, and I saw the challenges she had to go through to remerge as the athlete we all know now.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a personal note, I was thrilled to see her finish her career with an Olympic silver medal in Paris and celebrate the way she did with her close friends and teammates \u2013 it was just a wonderful moment to witness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The humble dual Olympian<\/a>, who has a wedding planned in August, is set to make a splash in her post swimming life as a senior health consultant.\u201cI\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve achieved in swimming. I genuinely love the sport and I am so proud to be part of one of the most successful periods of swimming in Australia and I am proud of the people we have all become out of the pool as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe medals and successes will be remembered but it\u2019s the friendships, relationships, shared moments, and unwavering support in this sport that will stay with me forever. Swimming has shaped me in ways I never imagined, and I can only hope that my journey has left a meaningful mark on the sport and the people who have been part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
