Amanda Beard is set to welcome a new addition to the pool.
The seven-time Olympic medalist and her husband, photographer Sacha Brown, are expecting their second child in July, Beard confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
“We are so excited to add to our family! During my first pregnancy, I was sick the whole time and felt awful,” the swimmer, 31, tells PEOPLE.
“So far this pregnancy has been a lot easier. I’ve only been sick a couple of times and I have way more energy.”

An Australian Olympic medal-winning swimmer has revealed she refused her coach’s instructions to take a vitamin injection for fear it contained illegal performance-enhancing substances.
The female freestyler was a mainstay of the national squad during the 1980s, winning Olympic and Commonwealth medals.
As a teenager, she said she felt pressured by her coach to receive a B12 injection from a doctor. However, sensing the substance could be more sinister, she refused.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, she said: “They wanted me to get this injection – but I had this feeling it wasn’t B12. It just felt wrong and I was highly suspicious. I couldn’t understand why I needed an injection when I could have got it as a supplement.”
So I guess this is news
Part of this weekend’s “Træner 2” basic coaching course here in the Faroe Islands. Here 15 second max sprints back and forth (me skipping the last repeat because I suck miserably at speed and changes of direction). Then 4 x 1 min ‘lactate tolerance’, and then 3 x 3 min endurance. All this so that we could try on our own bodies how it feels, and now we do. Ouch.
