Carsten Vissering grew up in Bethesda, Maryland, and swam at the same club as nine-time Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky. Vissering won a bronze medal at the 2013 world junior championships and attended USC where he would win an NCAA relay title and ended his college career by placing second in the 100-yard breaststroke at the 2019 NCAA championships.
Vissering transitioned from the water to the ice because of his love of strength training: "I was colloquially named the lifter who swam, I was always known for wanting to do cliff jumping or adventurous things so, for a lot of people, it didn’t shock them. I think people found it was consistent with my personality.”
Vissering made his IBSF World Cup debut in bobsled just over three years from competing at the NCAA Championships in swimming. In January 2026, he finished a career-best fourth place at an IBSF World Cup in the two-man bobsled with pilot Kris Horn and shortly after was named to his first U.S. Olympic team.
