Lilly King is a true Hoosier at heart. Growing up in Evansville, Indiana, she joined her local swim team at 7 years old. After working her way up the ladder, she found inspiration and confidence that led to a commitment to swim at Indiana University. A stellar freshman year quickly turned into Lilly qualifying for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. She went on to win 2 gold medals in a thrilling battle of "good vs. evil". Lilly's career has seen many successes, including 3 more Olympic medals, numerous world records, and 17 world titles. Her true passion lies in helping local organizations and inspiring young athletes through public speaking and clinics. In her free time, she loves to travel and spend time with her pets.
