The Impact of a Wave: Katie Ledecky’s Inspiring Encounter at the Pool

She couldn’t believe that you were waving at her. Watch this pull up at the 15. A little girl up in the stands getting a glimpse of Katie, and how excited is she? And wait for this one, folks. She waved at me. She saw me. I don’t know how to. I think. I might think. I mean, is that. That’s what it’s all about. That’s what Katie Ledecky is all about. I mean, how does that feel, to get that reaction from that little girl? Oh, it’s surreal to me. I mean, I was a six year old just starting to swim, and I looked up to these swimmers just like that. I mean, and to now be in this position where I can make that impact just with a wave, um, that hasn’t sunk into me. So, yeah, I’m. I’m proud that I, you know, can represent Team USA every time I. I get up on the blocks, and maybe someday one of. One of those young girls in the crowd will be out there breaking my records.
