Grevers, 37, retired from competitive swimming in 2019 after a successful career that included two gold, two silver, and two bronze medals in the Olympics. In an interview with Swimming World, Grevers said he decided to make a comeback because he missed the competition and the challenge of training at an elite level. “I’ve always loved swimming, and I realized that I wasn’t ready to give it up,” he said. “I’m excited to see how far I can go and I’m determined to make the most of this opportunity.” Grevers has been training consistently since retiring and said he feels stronger and faster than he did at the end of his career. He will compete in the 100-meter backstroke at the U.S. swimming trials in Indianapolis on June 21-26. If he qualifies for the team, it would be Grevers’ fifth Olympic appearance. He would be the oldest swimmer on the U.S. team and would join Dara Torres as the only swimmers to compete in five Olympics for the United States.
