King, 23, is one of the world’s most prominent swimmers. She owns two Olympic and 11 world gold medals, and eight NCAA titles. She has set 16 American records and holds world records in the 50- and 100-meter breaststrokes.

USA Swimming canceled its summer championship but might organize regional meets before 2020 ends.“I’m going to be honest. It’s been kind of nice. Haven’t exactly had a break since I’ve been 8 years old.
