USA Swimming CEO Tim Hinchey Departs After Underwhelming Olympic Performance

Hinchey's exit follows the American swim team's lowest gold medal count since 1988 and internal dissatisfaction among coaches.

Tim Hinchey leaves his role as USA Swimming CEO after seven years, with COO Shana Ferguson stepping in as interim CEO.
The American swim team won eight gold medals in Paris, their fewest since 1988, and 28 overall medals, the lowest since 2004.
Grassroots coaches expressed declining support for Hinchey, citing membership drops and disappointing international results.
Hinchey was credited with innovative moves like relocating the Olympic Trials to larger venues but faced criticism for leadership issues.
National team managing director Lindsay Mintenko is also expected to step down amid the leadership overhaul.
