Ruby Remati (born August 14, 2002) [1] is an American synchronized swimmer. She represented the United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics and won a silver medal.
Remati was born in Sydney, Australia, but grew up in Andover, Massachusetts, United States. [2] She started swimming at a young age and discovered synchronized swimming at age five. [2] She recalled that at the local YMCA, "I saw a competition going on in the main pool and I saw all these sparkly suits and someone flying in the air. I turned to my dad, and I said, 'I want to do that. I want to wear a sparkly suit.' He's like, 'You want to swim.' I'm like, 'No, I just want the sparkly suit.' Eventually, I got to wanting to do the swimming part." [2]
Remati joined the ANA Synchro swimming club in Andover later that year. [3] She was coached by Pan American Games medalist Leah Pinette and by age 11, she made the U.S. national team for her age group.

Remati competed at the 2019 Pan American Games and won two bronze medals. [5] She won bronze at the 2020 French Open event. [5] She was a member of the U.S. team that narrowly missed qualification for the 2020 Summer Olympics, missing out by a fraction of a point.
