U.S. national team swimmer Michael Chadwick and his wife Cassi announced that they will be having a baby boy.
The couple made the announcement on social media.
“It’s with tremendous joy and gratitude to announce that Cassi and I will be expecting a baby BOY in March 2021! Praise the Lord for this amazing opportunity to be a father!” Chadwick wrote on Instagram.
Chadwick recently left Team Elite and moved to North Carolina. Chadwick, originally from Charlotte, will be moved to Chapel Hill and is training under current head coach at the University of North Carolina, Mark Gangloff.
Michael Chadwick had grown up swimming for Swim MAC Carolina and trained under David Marsh at Team Elite in the lead-up to the 2016 Olympic Trials where he didn’t make it out of the heats in the 100 freestyle. He followed Marsh to California after graduating from the University of Missouri and is now returning to his home state.
He has represented the United States at the last two World Championships, winning gold medals as part of the prelims 4×100 free relay team. At last year’s World Championships, he split a 47.92 on the prelims relay. In the early days of 2020, he was ranked 26th in the world and tenth in the United States with a 49.40 from the TYR Pro Swim Series in Des Moines.
In the 50 freestyle in 2020, Chadwick was ranked 15th in the world and 5th in the US with a 22.12 at the TYR Pro Swim Series in March. He represented the LA Current in the first year of the International Swimming League but will represent the Toronto Titans in year two.
