Three-time U.S. Olympian Natalie Coughlin won’t officially begin competition at the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series – Charlotte meet until Saturday, and has entries in the 50 free, 100 back, and 100 free. Unofficially, though, she began her meet on Friday with a time trial in the 100 long course meters backstroke, where she swam 1:00.08. That ranks her 9th in the world so far in 2015.
She’s the best!
