Regan Smith (born February 9, 2002) is an American competitive swimmer.[citation needed] As of 2022, Smith trains under Bob Bowman with the Arizona State University professional training group.[4] She is the world junior record holder in the women's long course 100-meter backstroke and 200-meter backstroke and a former world record holder in the long course 100-meter backstroke and the 200-meter backstroke.[citation needed] She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in three events representing the United States, winning a bronze medal in the 100-meter backstroke, a silver medal in the 200-meter butterfly, and a silver medal in the 4×100-meter medley relay.[citation needed] At the World Aquatics Championships, she won individual gold medals in the 200-meter backstroke in 2019 and the 100-meter backstroke in 2022 and a relay gold medal swimming the backstroke leg of the 4x100 medley relay in 2023.[citation needed][5]

Background[edit]

Smith started competing collegiately for Stanford University in the fall of 2021.[6] Following the end of the 2021–2022 collegiate season, she left Stanford University and started training with the Sun Devils, based at Arizona State University.[1][7]

Career[edit]

Early career[edit]

When Smith was twelve, she achieved multiple new age-group records and won medals at high school state meets. Following these successes, she joined Apple Valley’s Riptide Swim Club and began to receive coaching from Mike Parratto, who is known for coaching twelve-time Olympic medalist Jenny Thompson.[8]

While she was fourteen, Smith competed at meets with Olympians such as Missy Franklin (at the time the world record holder for the 200-meter backstroke)[9] and Katie Ledecky (the world record holder for the 400-meter freestyle, 800-meter freestyle, and 1500-meter freestyle).[9] In 2016 she became a member of the U.S. National Junior Team and set national age group records in the 100-yard backstroke, 100-yard butterfly, and 100-meter backstroke. She was named the 2016 Age Group Swimmer of the Year for 13–14 year-olds.[10]

After attending Stanford and competing collegiately for one season, Smith made the switch to turn professional. When asked about the switch from collegiate athlete to professional athlete, Smith said "I am postponing my college degree to maximize my athletic competitive window." With this switch, Smith believes she will be able to increase her training intensity.[11] Training with the Sun Devils is under the leadership of Bob Bowman, the previous coach of Michael Phelps. Smith mentioned her future goals saying, "Bob's leadership and training will have me exactly where I want to be for Paris 2024."[12]

2017–2018[edit]

In July 2017, at age fifteen, Smith competed in her first major international meet at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships. She qualified for the women's 200-meter backstroke event final and finished 8th.[13][14] In August, Smith won gold medals in the 100-meter backstroke and the 200-meter backstroke at the 2017 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships. In the 100-meter finals she broke Missy Franklin's 15–16 national age group record, as well as the world junior record previously set by Taylor Ruck in the semifinals.[15] She was awarded the 2017 National Age Group Swimmer of the Year for 15–16 year-olds.[16]

The following year, Smith won her first senior international medal by taking bronze in the 200-meter backstroke at the 2018 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Tokyo.[17] At the 2018 USA Swimming Championships, Smith set a new world junior record when she and Kathleen Baker (at the time the world record holder for the 100-meter backstroke) tied for first in the 200-meter backstroke with a time of 2:06.43. Smith also finished third in both the 100-meter backstroke and 200-meter butterfly.[17] She wrapped up 2018 by earning the Age Group Swimmer of the Year title for the third time in her career and the second time consecutively in the age group (15–16 year-olds).[18]

2019 World Championships[edit]

2019 World Championships
Gold medal – first place 200 m backstroke 2:03.69

At the 2019 World Aquatics Championships in Gwangju, South Korea, Smith competed in one individual event, the 200-meter backstroke. In the heats and semifinals, she asserted herself as the favorite, recording a time of 2:06.01 in the heats and consequently breaking her own world junior record.[19] In the semifinals, she surged away from the rest of the field and opened up a lead of two body lengths by the last 25 meters. She touched the wall with a time of 2:03.35, shattering Missy Franklin's world record of 2:04.06 that had stood since 2012.[20] The next day in the final, she won her first World Championship title, claiming gold by a margin of more than two and a half seconds. She was well under her world record pace with a 100-meter split of 59.45 (a time that would have placed 6th in the 100-meter backstroke final held earlier).[21] Smith's pace fell off at the end, but she still managed to finish with the second fastest women's 200-meter backstroke ever with a time of 2:03.69.[21][22]

Despite not qualifying for an individual spot in the 100-meter backstroke,[23] Smith was chosen as the backstroke leg for Team USA in the 4×100-meter medley relay final. She won gold along with Lilly King, Kelsi Dahlia, and Simone Manuel with a world-record time of 3:50.40 to break the previous mark of 3:51.55 set in 2017.[24] As the lead-off leg, Smith's split time was eligible for an official world record. Her lead-off split of 57.57 broke Kathleen Baker's 100-meter backstroke world record of 58.00.[24]

Smith was awarded 2019 American Swimmer of the Year and World Swimmer of the Year for her achievements in 2019 by Swimming World. She was also named 2019 National Age Group Swimmer of the Year (17–18 year-olds) by SwimSwam, her fourth such award of her career.[25] For the year, she also received the Swammy Awards for World Junior Female Swimmer of the Year, becoming the first American swimmer to win the award, and Female Swimmer of the Year.[26][27]
