Kate Douglass and Regan Smith featured in the SwimSwam podcast on November 10, where the former opened up about her decision and motivation to compete at the Swimming World Cup even after the Paris Olympics.

"I mean for a meet like this, you kind of have to, like we kind of had to commit to World Aquatics that we were doing this back in the spring, and so obviously it was a little nerve-wracking because I was like I don’t know if I’m gonna want to do this after the Olympics," said Kate Douglass.

Following this, she also spoke about her decision to compete at the World Cup alongside Smith.

"But it just kind of seemed like an experience I didn’t want to say no to. Uh, but I feel this year is kind of just all about new experiences and having fun with swimming and so that was why I wanted to do it. But I also was like I’m not doing it by myself, and so me and Regan were kind of you know both talking about you know if we wanted to do it or not and how we would only do it if the other one was doing it.”

Kate Douglass was also recently honored at the MLB game between the Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies, as she and other Olympians like Gretchen Walsh were invited to throw the first pitch of the game.
