Rachel Nicole has announced her retirement after 26 years of competitive swimming.
“The Paris Olympics were just around the corner in 2024, which was really great.” I thought about what made me take swimming seriously and whether I wanted to participate in the Olympic Trials,” Nicole said.
“It is a really stressful preparation period and it takes a lot of effort to prepare, so I was wondering whether to participate in the Olympic selection. And I qualified for that in the summer of 2023, so I knew I was going to be there. So I thought this might be a good place to stop because I'm feeling good. I'm on Team Canada…and even if I don't necessarily swim great, I'm part of the team and I can finish on good footing. That was my mindset.”
This is how Nicole ended her career. 1st place in the 100m breaststroke and 4x100m medley relay at the 2023 Pan American Games
Other accomplishments include a third place finish in the 4×100 meter medley relay. 5th place in 4×100 medley relay at Long Course World Championships At the 2016 Olympics, she placed second in the 100m breaststroke, and at the 2016 Short Course World Championships, she placed second in the 4x100m medley relay, second in the 4x100m relay, and third in the 100m. Meter breaststroke at the 2015 Pan Am Games.
In 2010, she placed first in the 50-meter breaststroke and third in the 100-meter breaststroke several times. 2010 Youth Olympic Games 4×100 Freestyle Relay.
Nicole consulted many people to get different opinions and insights before making her decision.
When asked about the decision, Nicole said, “It was difficult.”
“It took me a very, very, very long time to make that decision.”
