Swimming is a low-impact, effective form of exercise that promotes muscle strength and cardiovascular health. It is a great way to stay fit and healthy, and can be done by people of all fitness levels and ages.

Katie Ledecky is a swimmer who has become one of the most dominant athletes in the world and among the most celebrated of her generation. She is a 10-time Olympic medalist and 19-time world champion -- the most of any female swimmer.

Her dominance in the pool has led to a variety of accolades, including FINA Swimmer of the Year and USOC Olympic SportsWoman of the Year. She is also the first woman to win four individual gold medals at a single world championship.

In addition to her many medals, she also holds American records in the 200- and 400-meter freestyle events. Her incredibly fast times are often the result of her meticulous mindset and her willingness to push herself to new limits.
