Team USA Swimmer David Curtiss Announces Retirement, Joins Police Force<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Former U.S. National Team member David Curtiss<\/strong> has announced his retirement from competitive swimming and will begin his next chapter as a police officer.<\/p>\n

“Time for a little transparency \u2014 my time in the sport of swimming has come to an end,” David Curtiss posted on Instagram. “It\u2019s been over for a while now, as I\u2019ve been quietly chasing another lifelong dream: a career in public service. Today marks day one of serving the Town of Cary, and I couldn\u2019t be more proud. Since I was a kid, I\u2019ve dreamed of working with people \u2014 all kinds of people \u2014 and being a positive force in the community. After the last Olympic Trials, I knew my spark for swimming had faded\u2026 but a new one had ignited.”<\/p>\n
