Bio

Sara Stotler is an elite butterfly and individual medley specialist who has competed at the highest levels of collegiate and national swimming. A native of Florida, Sara developed her foundation swimming for Planet Swim Aquatics and Clay High School. During her prep career, she was a dominant force, becoming a multi-time FHSAA State Champion. Her incredible versatility in the water earned her a trip to the 2020 US Olympic Trials, where she qualified to race in four different events: the 100 and 200 butterfly, the 200 freestyle, and the 200 IM.

Sara took her talents to the University of Tennessee, where she made an immediate impact on the Lady Vols program. As a freshman, she was a pivotal member of the 2022 SEC Championship-winning team. Throughout her collegiate career, she has proven herself as an indispensable relay piece and individual standout, amassing 10 NCAA All-America honors and capturing the University of Tennessee program record in the 200-yard butterfly.

Continuing her success on the national stage, Sara has been a 4-time US World Trials Finalist. She returned to the Olympic Trials in 2024, qualifying in three events and advancing to the semi-finals in the 200-meter butterfly. Her deep understanding of technique across all four strokes, combined with her experience racing under the highest pressure, makes her an incredible resource for the next generation of competitive swimmers.
