Elizabeth Beisel is one of the toughest swimmers in the history of the US Olympic Team. A 3x Olympian in arguably the hardest event in swimming (the 400IM), she gave herself over to some of the hardest training on the planet to achieve her goals for over a decade. 

What's most impressive about Elizabeth is her ability to have an impact outside the pool -- she is incredibly outgoing and postive, and always thinks of how to help her teammates succeed as much as herself. A true pro, and a true teammate.
