How Katie Ledecky Became a Swimming LEGEND!

[@dianameza1620]

I re stared swimming again this year, and all because of her! I know I won’t be as fast as her, but for me she’s the most amazing swimmer there is in the world

[@FaresKsebati]

That's so awesome to hear! She's definitely an inspiration.

Me as well Diana and I’m 70 🏊🏽‍♀️

@@808OWSwimmer Funny I’m thinking of trying lap swimming myself for the same reason. I’m 85 and do water aerobics and resistance but want to ramp up a little. Don’t laugh.

I'm an Aussie. When I went to the 2014 Pan Pacs, I had a ticket for every session, and I was there to see the Aussies do well swimming against the Americans. When I came away from it, all I could talk about was Katie Ledecky. I've never seen anything like it, her times were just incredible. (it was a rainy few days, and the seating was outdoors, but I will never forget how amazing her swimming was.)

[@nemom7791]

Officially obsessed with Katie Ledecky, become one of my fav's - she's such a killer swimmer, shows how dedication can be worth it!

[@taylorrobinson5466]

I'm a soon to be. in 1 week a 77 year old male swimmer who has been swimming seriously (not quite up to Katie's workout standards) for 40 years next month. I used to be long distance runner, did 3 Ironman Tris, had to stop running Bec of osteoarthritic hips, have had 4 THReplacements, so the only sport I can do (I miss running so much!) is swimming. I swim about 6 miles per week and do 1 5 mile swim in a pool once a month and have done that since I turned 50. Watching Katie for me has been so mind blowing it hurts. I love her work ethic and her never ending quest for brilliance. That inspires every one of my long swims. Thank you Katie for being you!

[@FaresKsebati]

Thanks for sharing, Taylor! So glad to hear that swimming can be an outlet for you at any age! Keep up the great work and happy swimming :)

[@helpinghal]

Katie became a legend at age 15 when she won the 800m freestyle at the London Olympics. Everything since then has just added to the legend.

[@jevanswslife]

Bar none! Do I need to say more? It's been a joy just to watch her. She has my full support.

[@Swimmer-sv6yu]

This video was so cool. Can’t wait for your pre show tonight

Thanks for your support! See you then!

She is the absolute distance queen! 👑 The youngsters will certainly push her this week in Tokyo!!

I’m so happy for Katie! Amazing job for training so hard. I wanted to ask the editors, what is the music you used in this video, it’s really nice, and I’d like to listen more of that? Thank you!

[@LuckyLyndie]

She is awesome. Thankfully her parents supported her

[@the1-taylorswiftfandom56]

She's already the GOAT & she's still only 24. & now she got challenges from Ariarne Titmus..i think she's only gonna go faster. It's true Arnie beats her in 200 & 400 at Tokyo 2021..but 800 & 1500, she still ruled supreme. & Paris 2024, she's gonna challenge back Arnie at 200 & 400 coz she's the very best of the best female competitors that ever graces our sports. Respect 😊

[@ngdawgs1]

My favorite swimmer!! Will never be as good as her, but she has inspired me during my swim journey 💪🏽.

[@piersto]

Wow! She is amazing! Thanks for video.

[@jojijosette5946]

She is The Legend. Younger swimmers will come... they will fall short of Katie's accomplishments and medals in swimmimg.

[@donna25871]

A younger swimmer has come - Ariarne Titmus who will come away from these games with four gold medals.

[@kevins3646]

My daughter started swimming at 6 just like Katie. She will turn 7 in July. In 11 months She has progressed to swimming 100 m under 3 min. She is almost as fast as me in 25m in 33 secs. All this with just me teaching her swimming. Hoping to put her in a swim club soon. She has a chance to go places.

[@FaresKsebati]

That's awesome! Thanks for giving her a chance to pursue something she's good at. Happy swimming :)

Also she is 6'2 which is such a huge advantage against most other female swimmers since no a lot of women are her height

[@elsanystrom350]

6 ft. tall -average for female swimmers is 5 ft. 11 so not amazingly tall

[@person5894]

Why call it legacy when u could call it Ledecacy

[@antonmolchanov10]

Just a very gentle add-on - it actually should sound like “Ledetsky” due to the Czech origin of her surname.

It’s unlikely she pronounces it that way

She looks like a female version of the Backyard Scientist 😂

She is tall for a women at 6 feet but at least she is a true biological female competing against other females. Genetically blessed and competing in swim meets since childhood. Her work outs and dedication have made her a true champion. At least she is not a male pretending to be female to get ahead and win competitions with an unfair biological advantage.

[@fart63]

Average height for female swimmers is like 6ft so she’s not that tall

[@petroslewisswim1166]

she lost the 400free

[@FaresKsebati]

Michael Phelps also has silver medals. Doesn't change the fact that they're both amazing swimmers that have cemented their place in swimming history!

[@deckercoffey]

Then she used that as fuel to win the mile

[@moonlightsonata5576]

She might not feel well due to the same illness she had last time that caused her gold medal, who knows... and don't forget she is also racing the 200m, 800m, 1500m as well while Titmus is not 😏

[@user-zb3lr3ke4f]

Titmus went the 2nd fastest swim in history, Katie had an amazing race but titmus was just slightly better that day.

Little known back story😉: In her previous life, Katie was much bullied in the world of dolphins for being "slow"...She was very sad, and squeaked out in dolphin to God, the Maker of the Universe, for mercy. 🐬 So God turned her into a human.🙋🏼‍♀️ Deep down, she is still puzzled as to all the fuss she's now getting.
