SSPC: Mackenzie Padington Explains Her Pre-Olympic Retirement


Episode 366


We sat down with Canadian national-teamer, NCAA All-American for Minnesota, and now Swammer Mackenzie Padington, who announced her retirement recently via Instagram. Padington takes us through her reasons for leaving the sport she's been in since age 4, including injury and being unhappy with her current training environment.

Padington explains there was an event that happened unrelated to the swim team in Minnesota that left her wanting to leave. She ended up returning to Victoria and training at the high-performance center in Vancouver. She had even committed to swim for NC State after the Olympics. However, once lockdown started and Padington had to return home, things weren't really clicking for her until she ultimately made the decision to step away from swimming.
