    Kaitlin News iconIt's only been a week since the Olympic Trials, yet Kaitlin Sandeno has been as busy as ever!

    Although she describes her retirement from swimming as "bittersweet", she already has people and projects lined up for the immediate future, beginning this week with the ESPY Awards, presented by ESPN.

    Already re-adapted to her California environment, Kaitlin is sporting a new hairstyle and a fresh new tan.

    Kaitlin is scheduled to host the Olympic kick off party in Vegas at Club Blush at the Wynn hotel. But her hosting duties don't end there! She will also host a USA Swimming "Splash Bash" in Irvine.

    She has a meeting set with ESPN at their headquarters in Connecticut, and is also generating interest from Hollywood casting agents!

    Good luck, Kaitlin!
