Dana Vollmer is many things: Olympic gold medalist, former world record holder in the women’s 100 fly, wife, mom, daughter, swimming enthusiast–and after retiring from the sport after the London Olympics and giving birth to a son, Arlen, in March 2015, the 28-year-old is back in the pool and has her eyes set on Rio.
Vollmer first made an appearance on the swimming scene as the youngest participant at the 2000 Olympic Trials at age 12, before making the 2004 Olympic team and winning gold in the 4 x 200 free relay. When she didn’t make the team in 2008 Vollmer traveled to Fiji where she taught children to swim off the breathtaking Fijian coast in the learn-to-swim program that Milt Nelms had started.
Fast forward to 2015 and Vollmer started to get the itch to get back in the pool. Now Vollmer enjoys swimming and chasing around Arlen, now an active one-year-old, as she prepares for this summer’s upcoming Olympic Games.
