Just wondering what professional level swimmers have announced their retirement following the US olympic trials and the olympics. Also, any guesses as to who you think will retire that has not said so yet.
Some names that come to mind...
Kaitlin Sandeno
Gary Hall Jr
Neil Walker
Brooke Bishop
Margaret Hoelzer
Amanda Beard
Eric Shanteau
Davis Tarwater
Erik Vendt
Rachel Komisarz
Brenden Hansen (although he said in an interview that he "wasn't going out like that"
Jason Lezak
Dara Torres (who knows)
Cullen Jones is only 23. That is very young for sprinters. But, Weber-Gale and Lezak and now Phelps could keep him from individual events. I am still baffled by all the endorsements he gets for just being a relay swimmer at the Olympics. Usually, you have to win a gold medal in an individual event to get a Johnson and Johnson commercial.
