Here's to another swimming couple coming together and the future of great swimming genes; almost simultaneously, Jessica Hardy and Dominik Meichtry officially announced their engagement via Twitter this past Saturday (March 3). Hardy, is an American swimmer, world record holder in the 50m and 100m breaststroke (both long course), and is the proud owner of a vast internal swimming medal menu.
Meichtry is a Swiss swimmer who currently holds six Swiss swimming records and has accumulated over 30 Swiss national medals throughout his 10 year international career.
Swimming accolades aside, like a Hollywood movie, Meichtry surprised Hardy on a beach at sunset in Malibu. I can only do Jessica justice if I quote her as saying, “We're on another planet with excitement!”
A huge congratulations to the both of you.
