For Nic Fink, his swimming days remain way apart from his companions in the national jersey. The 2022 World Swimming Championship medalist holds an office job and continues to strive in the pool to touch his Olympic glory. However, his 9-to-5 job never barred him from participating wherever the need arose. Rather, Nic Fink’s swimming entries achieve the epitome of moonlighting and humane determination. So, as the Olympic year neared, people anticipated that fervor to reach staggering heights.

In a conversation with CNBC back in the day, Nic Fink said, “My co-workers, in and out of the pool, are really great with my schedule.
