Over five years (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023), Martin has won 53 gold medals and broken 32 records in swimming. In 2020, the meet was cancelled because of the pandemic.

Her results are:
200 Freestyle – gold-new record-2:11.31, breaking a 22-year-old record since 2001, broke a 22-year old record.
50 breaststroke-gold-33.27.

100 mixed doubles-gold, 1:42.6 where she teamed up with Olympian Nenad Ninkovic from Serbia to win the gold medal.

“I’m very pleased with my times and performance at the games this year, Martin said. “It’s getting a bit harder as I’m starting to get older, but I’ve been finding new ways to challenge myself. I swam my off events this year. I think it’s been 20 years since I swam the 200 free. I almost forgot how to pace myself as I’ve gotten very comfortable swimming 50’s.

“I feel really good with where I’m at and I have six weeks to continue to work as I prepare for the World Police and Fire Games at the end of July.”

The World Games are July 27-Aug 8 in Winnipeg, Canada. Martin will compete in the 50 freestyle, 50 breast, 50 backstroke, 50 butterfly, 100 breaststroke and four relays in addition to the Open Water event.

The World Police and Fire Games are host to over 10000 police officers and fire fighters from all over the world.

It will be Martin’s sixth appearance at the Games. In the past five games, Martin has captured 25 gold medals, nine silver medals, five bronze medals and have set thirteen records. My participation this year makes her eligible for the World Police and Fire Games Hall of Fame.
