Meet Margaret Hoelzer

Margaret Hoelzer is a U.S. Olympian, keynote speaker and spokesperson for the National Children’s Advocacy Center.

Overcoming sexual abuse as a child, Hoelzer rose to the top in her sport of swimming and continues to excel as an internationally recognized motivational keynote speaker and advocate. In 2008 after competing in her second Olympic Games and becoming a three-time Olympic medalist, and breaking a World Record, Margaret revealed to the world that she had been sexually abused as a child.

Leveraging her platform as an Olympic athlete to help spread awareness in a time before the “times up” and “me too” movements, Margaret was one of the first professional athletes to speak out about her experience with sexual abuse.

Featured Client Reviews for Margaret Hoelzer

CAC Logo

“Gathering together for the first time after the pandemic, we knew we needed a special speaker for our annual luncheon. Having Margaret Hoelzer as our keynote was exactly the memorable speaker we hoped to have. So many times we hear the statistics as it relates to sexual abuse but we forget the small faces that belong to them. Margaret gave us not only a face but a voice to so many who are never heard. We are so grateful for the impact of Margaret’s speech at our annual luncheon.”
