[4][9] In February 2025 it was announced that Rawak would leave her position to become the new CEO of USA Swimming.
[6] Nine days later, USA Swimming’s board of governors announced that Rawak would not assume the role as CEO and president due to "unforeseen personal circumstances that we learned about late this week.
"[11] USA Swimming stated that it had just learned of a complaint against her regarding her conduct while coaching at the University of Michigan that had been filed with the U.S. Center for SafeSport, an organization that handles abuse and misconduct claims, that Rawak had not disclosed during what USA Swimming called a "rigorous" vetting process.
