A Stanford University swimmer ended up collapsing inside the pool after a grueling race at this year's ACC Swimming and Diving Championships.
The event was held in Atlanta, where the 20-year-old talented athlete named Addison Sauickie was seen struggling in her 500-yard freestyle preliminary heat, briefly hesitating mid-race before she finished with a much slower time than her usual.

Once she was on the pool deck, she briefly collapsed and required swift medical attention before being able to walk off under her own power with assistance. The collapse was certainly outlined to be very alarming, enough that her team withdrew her from the upcoming 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard butterfly events as a precaution.

However, they did reveal how the condition was being closely monitored. The moment was caught on video and shared widely across the board.
