Ever frustrated with turns and just wish you could swim in a straight line? For USA Olympic swimmer Mariah Denigan that is the dream. While the majority of her training still takes place in a pool and she has represented the USA internationally in longer distance pool races, Mariah Denigan has established herself among the best in the world in open water races. Mariah has represented Team USA at the last couple World Championships, including a 6th place finish in 2023 where she surged in the second half of the race and earned an invitation to the Paris Olympics. Dubbed by her coach, legendary Indiana University’s Ray Looze, as having a “pain tolerance that’s off the charts,” Mariah Denigan is at her best in the critical closing stages of races. For a coach that has developed many Olympic medal winning athletes including the likes of Lilly King, Cody Miller, Annie Lazor, Blake Pieroni, and more - she must be one tough competitor.
