USA Swimming is undergoing a major overhaul. 

Following a lackluster Olympic run in 2024, USA Swimming is making big changes, which includes the departure of the team’s CEO Tim Hinchey and national team managing director Lindsay Mintenko, according to Sports Illustrated. 

The changes come after a Summer Olympics in which Team USA still managed to out-medal everyone else in swimming, accumulating 28.

The medal count was led by eight golds, also more than their opposition, but it was the fewest amount of golds U.S. Swimming has had since 1988 and their lowest tally of total medals since 2004.

PARIS (AP) — Track cyclist Caroline Groot of the Netherlands won the first gold medal of the Paralympic Games and Chinese Paralympians claimed four on the first day of competition Thursday. Groot won the final of the 500-meter time trial in women’s track cycling for the C4 and C5 classifications. It was the first medal event of the Games that opened with a spectacular ceremony on Wednesday. Groot went last after watching C4 world record holder Kadeena Cox crash on her attempt. The British cyclist was denied the opportunity of restarting because a mechanical error was not to blame for her fall. Groot won in 35.390 seconds, a world record in C5. French cyclist Marie Patouillet (C5) took the silver for France’s first medal of the Games, and Canada’s Kate O’Brien (C4) took bronze.
