Kaitlin Sandeno is a world champion swimmer, Olympic gold medalist, and former world record holder. Now she uses her platform to help others, as the national spokesperson for the Jessie Rees Foundation, a coach for local youth teams, and general manager of the DC Trident.

Kaitlin Sandeno was one of the world’s greatest and most versatile swimmers. Competing at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics, she was a part of the world record breaking 4x200-meter relay team and is one of an elite few to medal in three different strokes.

Golden Glow: How Kaitlin Sandeno Achieved Gold in the Pool and in Life recounts Sandeno’s amazing swimming career—including her spectacular Olympic performances—and details the impact she has made in the world outside the pool. Breaking into the Olympics at seventeen years old, she became the face of the team with her enthusiasm and bubbly personality. She returned to the Olympics four years later to have one of the most dominating meets by an American woman in history. But Sandeno’s legacy in the pool is nothing compared to how she has used her platform to help those around her. She is the national spokesperson for the Jessie Rees Foundation and spreads joy around the country to children fighting cancer. She has emceed Olympic trials, hosted multiple shows for USA Swimming, and has given back to her sport, as a coach of youth teams and now as general manager of the International Swimming League's DC Trident.

Golden Glow is not only the story of how hard work and perseverance led Sandeno to Olympic gold but also how she has used her success in the pool to inspire those around her.

Reviews for Golden Glow: How Kaitlin Sandeno Achieved Gold in the Pool and in Life

Kaitlin's great new book demonstrates the dedication and never give up attitude of a two-time Olympian and real champion. Following her decorated swimming career, she continues that message working with the Jessie Rees Foundation and supporting children with cancer. This book details Kaitlin's inspiring journey and reflects the positive work Kaitlin has done both inside and outside the pool. -- Katie Ledecky, 2012 and 2016 Olympic swimmer, five-time Olympic gold medalist, and fourteen-time world record breaker From the early days to the triumphs and challenges of an illustrious career, Golden Glow gives the reader insight into the mindset of an Olympic champion. This story shows how Kaitlin has not only parleyed her Olympic success into a successful career outside the pool but how she has used that Olympic platform to help countless others through her work as national spokesperson for the Jessie Rees Foundation. -- Natalie Coughlin, three-time Olympic swimmer and twelve-time Olympic medalist Kaitlin's infectious personality has always made her special but her story and how she's grown as an athlete, woman, and philanthropist is truly special. Golden Glow shares her story and is a great read for other young athletes to learn from. -- Missy Franklin, 2012 and 2016 Olympic swimmer, five-time Olympic gold medalist, and world record-holder
