After winning the fewest U.S. Olympic swimming gold medals since 1988 and fewest total medals since 2004, changes will be made before the ’28 Los Angeles Games.
In the wake of an uninspiring performance at the Paris Olympics, major leadership changes are coming at USA Swimming, sources tell. CEO Tim Hinchey and national team manager Lindsay Mintenko are expected to leave the organization in the near future, though nothing has yet been formally announced.
Mintenko, who has held her position since 2017, already has informed some colleagues that she intends to leave USA Swimming, sources say. The buck stops on Mintenko’s desk for the U.S. competitive performance, and recent results make it hard to return. Hinchey, who held the CEO position since 2017, has his contract up for renewal in 2025. Hinchey and the board are supposed to express whether they have intent to go forward with a new deal by Sept. 30, but a decision by both parties to explore other options appears to be in the offing, sources say.
