[EXCERPT]

However, former college swimmer Riley Gaines is not related to three-time gold medalist swimmer Rowdy Gaines, though many might get confused since both share the same surname and are swimmers. 64-year-old Rowdy Gaines is a former competitive swimmer who has four children, Emily, Isabelle, Maddison, and Savanna.
