Two-time Olympic medalist swimmer Lia Neal chatted with Digital Journal about her career as a professional swimmer. She opened up about her achievements and the impact of technology on aquatics.
At the 2018 Short Course Worlds in Hangzhou, China, Neal won three gold medals and one silver medal in the relay races as part of the women’s U.S. swimming team. “That was a fun time. It was a really nice team,” she said. “We were out there for 14 days, so it was fun getting to know people better.” |

On the impact of technology on swimming, she said, “Technology has definitely helped the sport. More people should take advantage of all the resources that we do have, and implement the technology with the underwater film. Attach a GoPro to a tripod and that can give you so much feedback that you wouldn’t be able to get from anywhere else since it captures things from underwater.”
Earlier this month, Neal announced that joined Team FINIS, and she is looking forward to embarking on a journey with them.
Neal defined the word success as “being happy” with herself and to “meet the goals” that she sets for herself.
