Elizabeth Beisel Marries Jack Nichting in Rhode Island Celebration

The celebration of was attended some of the biggest names in the sport, including Katie Ledecky, Caeleb Dressel, Missy Franklin, Katie Hoff, Cullen Jones, Allison Schmitt and Natalie Hinds.
Beisel and Niching were engaged in 2022.
Elizabeth Beisel was a three-time Olympian, qualifying for the 2008 games in Beijing, the 2012 games in London and the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro.
In 2012, she earned two Olympic medals; a silver in the 400 individual medley, and a bronze in the 200m backstroke. At the 2016 Olympics, she was voted by her teammates to serve as captain of the U.S. Olympic Team.
Elizabeth Beisel has remained in the sport, raising money and awareness for different causes, and also broadcasting swimming events as part of the NBC team at the Olympic trials and 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and her role grew at the 2024 trials and Paris Olympics.
She retired in 2017 after being a part of the U.S. National Team for 12 consecutive years, a record for American women only eclipsed by Ledecky.
Beisel became the first woman in history to swim to Block Island, Rhode Island. Her swim, named “Block Cancer”, was a 20K unassisted journey across the Block Island Sound to raise money for cancer research and clinical trials.
Looked like a beautiful ceremony.
