Molly Renshaw (born 6 May 1996) is an English breaststroke swimmer. In 2016, she won the 200 meters 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. Viewing setbacks as opportunities to identify and work on areas needing improvement, Molly Renshaw overcame the disappointment of not making the 2012 Olympic team. Recognizing areas where she needed support to reach the next level, Molly surrounded herself with a good team and coaches who pushed her, through the highs and lows of training and competition, to achieve her goals.

She competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics, setting a new British record of 2:22:33 while qualifying for the 200 m breaststroke final.

Speaking from example, the 5-time World Championships competitor and 2016 World Champion, encourages younger swimmers to, “Be patient! You have to work hard to achieve your best, and it won’t come without going through highs and lows and being persistent with your training.”

In 2020 Molly competed for the US-based swim team - New York Breakers - in the second season of the International Swimming League.
