Elizabeth Pelton

Elizabeth Anne Pelton (born November 26, 1993) is an American former competitive swimmer and multi FINA world champion.

She trained with Paul Yetter, as well as Bob Bowman, coaches who produced Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff, among the other multiple Olympians from that site.

Some others included are Dana Vollmer, Emily Silver, Caitlin Leverenz, Rachel Bootsma, Kathleen Baker, and Sara Isokovic.

Pelton recently announced her official retirement from the sport at the 2016 Swimming Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska.

Pelton opted not to compete in the 200-meter individual medley in Rome because of a scheduling conflict with the 100-meter backstroke, and was replaced by Ariana Kukors for the event.

Additionally, Pelton swam the backstroke leg of the 4x100-meter medley relay preliminaries, but the U.S. team did not advance to the final.

Pelton won a gold medal in the 400m medley relay at the 2011 World Championships, swimming the backstroke lead off leg.
