As a competitive swimmer, Matthew Lowe always dreamed of swimming for the United States at the Olympics.
However, during his career, the closest the Texas All-American came to achieving this goal were semifinal showings in the 100 and 200 breaststroke events at 2004 Olympic Trials.
But this year, Lowe is getting the opportunity to finally fulfill his dream without even having to dip a toe in the water.
Dr. Lowe is going to Tokyo with Team USA as a member of USA Swimming’s medical staff – fulfilling a different dream he only recently knew he wanted to achieve.
“This really is a dream come true for me,” said Lowe, a chiropractor who calls Austin, Texas, home who has been part of this team since 2017 World Championships. “Having been on the medical staff for Team USA at 2018 Pan Pacific Championships and 2017 and 2019 World Championships, I know that the Olympics are the pinnacle for me.
“I didn’t get to swim at the Olympics, but I’m really looking forward to helping USA swimmers be at their best physically so they can win.”
