In 2025, Katie Ledecky did things that no one, not even herself, had done in history. No, I don’t think this was the greatest year for Ledecky in terms of the number of world records broken or gold medals won. However, in terms of her legacy and lasting impact on swimming, this could be Ledecky’s most successful year to date as she continued to build on her already exceedingly storied career in ways that I’m guessing few expected.
Let’s review a few of the highlights:
May 2025: On the last night of the 2025 Ft Lauderdale Pro Swim, after going 2nd best times ever in the 1500 and 400 free, Katie Ledecky puts it all out there for the 800 free final, going out fast and never letting up. With literally the entire sold-out venue of fans, coaches, athletes, and officials cheering her on, Ledecky touches in 8:04.12. This breaks her legendary world record from the 2016 Rio Olympics (8:04.79) and marks her first PR in the event in nearly a decade. At age 28, swimming has never seen longevity like this before, and certainly not in distance swimming.
