About this episode
New USA Swimming CEO Kevin Ring joins Unfiltered Waters to share first impressions after Golden Goggles, why he sees this moment as a fresh start built on transparency and real vulnerability, and how he plans to support the full ecosystem—athletes, clubs, coaches—while “turning the page.” Priorities include removing barriers to water access and backing the whole athlete (performance, mental health, nutrition, medical) on the path to LA 2028. Ring also outlines a year-round storytelling push (social, podcasts, NBC/docu-series) and smarter commercialization to fund athletes and grassroots alike, while rebuilding trust with current and alumni athletes through open dialogue and action.
