Glenn Edward Moses Jr. (born June 7, 1980) is an American former competition swimmer and breaststroke specialist who is an Olympic gold medalist, world champion, and former world record-holder. He represented the United States at the 2000 Summer Olympics, where he won a gold and silver medal.[1]
On January 23, 2002 in Stockholm, Sweden, Moses set a world record in the short course 100-meter breaststroke (57.47). In January 2002, Moses also set the world mark in the short course 200-meter breaststroke, which he lowered again with a time of 2:02.92 in Berlin on January 17, 2004.[2]
Moses was a contestant on the television program Mental Samurai on April 16, 2019. He answered 10 out of 12 questions correctly but then ran out of time.
Moses was born in Loma Linda, California, to U.S. Air Force colonel Glenn Edward and schoolteacher Sissy Moses. He did not begin swimming year-round until his senior year of high school.[3]
Moses swam for the University of Virginia and won in the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke events at the 2000 NCAA Division I Championships, setting world records for both events (in 2000 the NCAAs were swum short course meters, allowing for world records). He graduated from the University of Virginia in 2004 with a degree in sports medicine. He has also volunteered as an assistant coach at the University.[4]
Leading into the 2000 Olympic Games, Moses broke an American record at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials. At the 2000 Olympics he won two medals: silver in the 100-meter breaststroke and gold as a member of the USA's world record-setting 4 × 100 medley relay.
On Nov. 5, 2010 SwimmingWorld.TV announced that Ed Moses was making a comeback.[5] As part of his return to swimming, Moses swam at the 2011 U.S. Masters Short Course Nationals.
