“I am more than grateful and extremely motivated to assume this role”, ” Meehan said in a press release. “My love for the Olympic movement – especially for swimming in the United States – has shaped a large part of my life. While we plan to welcome the 2028 Olympic Games, our success will be a by-product of investments that we do today thanks to hard work, commitment, collaboration and enthusiasm. I am honored to help this next chapter and inspire the next generation. ”
Meehan, who was also an Olympic assistant coach in 2016 and 2024, was the personal coach of Olympic gold medalists, including Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel, Maya Dirado and, more recently Torri Huske, who is a Stanford junior.
The Managing Director oversees all aspects of the United States national team program, including high performance, services and development of athletes and coaches, financing and operations.
The next big international meeting is the world championships in Singapore in July and August.
