Let us check the list of top US Swimming Champions in 2022 now. They are: 

  1. Missy Franklin: Graceful as a mermaid in the water, Missy Franklin is definitely going to be remembered as the best swimmer USA has ever seen. Although she is now retired from competitive swimming, Missy Franklin has definitely made her country proud with the 5 Olympic Golds that she has won. She also has world records in the 200 meter backstroke and the 4×100 meter medley relay swimming. Four of the above mentioned gold medals were won by her at the 2012 Summer Olympics where she was in spectacular form. She has also been instrumental in helping her team win a gold medal in the 2016 Summer Olympics 4×200 meter medley swimming race.
  2. Mark Spitz: Are you wondering what even is interesting about this man who retired from swimming at the ripe young age of 22? Let us know exactly why he is even on this list. Mark Spitz will be considered one of the best American swimmers of all time. He is famously known for winning 7 gold medals in the Munich Olympics in 1972. He is also a known face in the entertainment world where he starred in Emergency. 
  3. Katie Ledecky: This woman has won 15 gold medals in world championships, a feat yet unmatched. Not only that, Katie has also been a 7 time Olympic Gold winner. She also started achieving success at the tender age of 15 years, which puts her into a prodigal talent category altogether. At 15, Katie was the youngest member of the swimming team that was sent from the US to the London Olympics 2012. She is also a Stanford graduate and the youngest member of the Times 100 in 2016.
