“I really thought Paris would be my last race ever… Since then: Got married, moved cities, bought a house, had a baby And it all brought me back to the pool. 6 weeks postpartum and we’re back into it with a whole new approach and a whole new plan.. and I’m beyond excited for this wild ride! First morning practice in the books Tell a friend to tell a friend … I’m baaaaaaaackkkkkk!!!!”
Back in September 2024, about a month after the Paris Olympics, Weitzeil announced that she would take the year off of swimming. She made the announcement on TikTok while cleaning out her locker at Cal, where she competed collegiately from 2016-2020 and then continued to train in Berkeley as a pro.
She has represented the US at the last three Olympics, swimming to gold (women’s 4×100 medley relay) and silver (women’s 4×100 free relay) back in 2016. At the 2020(1) Tokyo Olympics, she won silver (women’s 4×100 medley relay) and bronze (women’s 4×100 free relay). She also swam the individual 50 and 100 freestyles at both the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Her last meet before her break was the 2024 Paris Olympics where she swam in prelims of the mixed 4×100 medley relay that won gold during the final. She also swam in prelims of the women’s 4×100 free relay that won silver.
Weitzeil’s Instagram post today was taken during morning practice at Queens University in North Carolina. She said it was her “first real practice since Paris.” She documented some of her swims during her pregnancy over the winter.
