Trey Freeman has announced his retirement from competitive swimming.

Trey Freeman made the announcement on social Instagram:
“Today, I retire from competitive swimming.
I am grateful for the all the highs and lows of the 16 years I spent in the water. I owe more thanks than I could ever possibly mention. So, to everyone that has been part of this chapter in my life, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If anyone needs me I will always be around, but for now I will be sitting on my porch with my dog.
Much love,
#QuitterTrey”
