João de Lucca has hung up his swim suit for his family and future in coaching. But before he did that, he won back-to-back NCAA titles in the Men's 200 Free for the University of Louisville. He is a 3x Pan-American Champion and represented Brazil in the last two Olympiads.

The only thing that kept him going was the Olympic medal and at the end of the day he wasn't willing to sacrifice what it takes.
