Kate Douglass can do just about anything in a pool. She can sprint with the fastest women in the world, and she can also stretch out across 200 painstaking meters of breaststroke as well as anyone. Fast twitch or graceful glide, whitewater fury or sustained stamina, she might be the most protean swimmer on the planet.
Shakespeare coined the phrase, “Jack of all trades is a master of none.” Douglass is threatening to rewrite it as a jack of all trades and a master of all. She’s the closest thing we have to an aquatic Shohei Ohtani.
