Molly Renshaw (born 6 May 1996) is an English breaststroke swimmer. In 2016, she won the 200 metres breaststroke at the 2016 FINA World Swimming Championships (25m).
Early career
In 2012, she won the national 200 m title, but was not selected for the 2012 Olympics because her time was below the qualifying standard. She swam the qualifying time at the Olympic trials of March 2012, but did not win the race, which was required for the Olympic selection.[1] She competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics,[2] setting a new British record of 2:22:33 while qualifying for the 200 m breaststroke final.[3]
