Natalie Hinds is a professional athlete and Olympic swimmer. In 2021, Hinds qualified for the Olympics and is the 4th black woman to ever compete for the US team. As one of the nation’s best sprinters, Natalie competed at the 2016 Olympic Trials, followed by a brief retirement before coming back reignited in the fall of 2018 with her sights set on qualifying for the 2021 Olympic Games.
Natalie grew up in Midland, TX, where she was one of the top recruits in the nation coming out of high school for the class of 2012. She committed to the University of Florida and graduated as a 20x All-American sprint specialist. Being one of the few Black swimmers at the US National and Olympic caliber level, Natalie is a leader in the swimming and sports community.
In 2015, Natalie made history alongside Lia Neal and Simone Manuel, becoming the first trio of Black swimmers to go 1-2-3 in a single event at the NCAA Championships. That historical moment in Natalie’s career became the turning point for her to bring awareness and create educational opportunities for the sport of swimming.
After retiring in 2016, Natalie worked for Turner Media for two years until she felt a yearning to return to the pool and realize her full potential. Today Natalie is an accomplished speaker, using her platform to share her inspirational comeback story. In 2020, Natalie turned her long-time passion for designing custom tapestry into a successful business by launching Loominary.
