Wendy Boglioli

Wendy Boglioli brings her riveting Olympic story, professional versatility and captivating insight to audiences and clients across the country. A national long term care spokesperson and healthy aging advocate, Wendy’s enthusiasm, knowledge and ease leave audiences thirsty for more. Her message encourages everyone to take a holistic approach to their financial and physical outlook while her riveting personal and Olympic story resonates and persuades.

Wendy is best remembered for her role in the 1976 Olympic Games when she and fellow women swimmers were heavy underdogs to the systemically doped East German team. Earning a bronze medal in the 100M Butterfly, she and her 4x100M American Freestyle Relay teammates took to the blocks one last time in the culminating event. In what proved to be one of the ‘greatest swimming upsets’ of all time (Swimming World Magazine), Wendy and her teammates defeated their competitors in a David & Goliath showdown, earning Team USA’s only gold. ABC footage reveals the astonishment and excitement of the broadcasters- Donna DeVarona and Curt Gowdy- and the jubilation of the crowd cheering. In 2016, NBC and USA Swimming featured Wendy and her relay teammates in a new documentary, The Last Gold, narrated by Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife). It can be seen on Amazon.

Ever an athlete, Wendy has remained a fitness advocate. A swimmer for life, enthusiastic stand-up paddler, OC2 and OC 6 paddler, she also competed in track cycling and earned multiple gold medals during the 1995 and 1996 U.S. Master’s Track Cycling National Championships. Today, Wendy serves as an Elite Brand Ambassador for Finis, Inc., an innovative swim equipment company.

Wendy will be a keynote speaker at the 2025 NAIFA-Texas Centennial State Conference! Register today and meet her in person in February!
