Spencer Korwin, a 38-year-old triathlete representing Team USA at the age-group world championships in Auckland in 2026, died in an accidental drowning at the Pridwin Hotel dock on Shelter Island in Long Island Sound. He was found dead under the dock after failing to return from an early morning swim during a family vacation. His wife Carly notified hotel staff hours later. Police are investigating it as an accident. His family's GoFundMe has raised over $361,000 toward a $500,000 goal. Spencer had a swim split of 13:27, the 32nd fastest in the field. He was a capable swimmer but faced risks from strong currents.
