Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Hudson began swimming competitively at the age of 4. He spent the majority of his career swimming for Nashville Aquatic Club and Ensworth Aquatics. Along with his club teams, Hudson represented Montgomery Bell Academy, where he graduated in 2017. During his swimming career, he was a four-time state finalist, NISCA All-American, and Junior National qualifier. Post-graduation, he attended The University of Arizona as a student-athlete swimmer, where he trained under coach Augie Busch. Following his first year, Hudson decided to part ways with his swimming career and transferred to Baylor University, where he pursued his love of language, graduating with a B.A. in Russian Studies.
Throughout the years, Hudson has held several coaching roles. During high school, he spent his summers as an assistant coach for Sequoia Swim Club - a summer-league swim team consisting of 200+ children ages 3-18. This role also consisted of private lessons ranging from learning the basics to complex technical skills. He was eventually promoted to head coach for Sequoia, and led in that role for 3 years before moving to Austin, Texas. During his time in Austin, Hudson spent time as an assistant coach for the Whitecaps of Westlake - a competitive club team led by legendary Olympic gold medalist Ian Crocker. After a two year stint in Austin, Hudson has returned back to Nashville to work for his family business. Outside of the pool, you can find him running in the park, watching sports with his friends, or sipping coffee in a cafe. He is eager to share his knowledge and experience of the sport he loves so dearly.
