Host Megan Comfort sits down with Olympic medalist and world champion swimmer Katie Grimes to talk discipline, joy, mental resilience, and the mindset required to perform at the highest level. Katie traces her path from swimming for fun at age six to qualifying for the Games at 15, competing in COVID‑restricted Tokyo, and the friendships and team culture that shaped her growth. She reflects on balancing school and training at the University of Virginia, the pressures and privileges of representing the United States, and how she stays authentic while navigating sponsorships and building her personal brand. She also dives into journaling, energy and motivation, supporting teammates, and why “the grass is greener where you water it” guides her as she looks ahead.
