beisel has nothing to worry about...knutson may swim well in season every meet but beisel has been the most successful teen since hoff and has the most experience. she is the real deal. its gonna be beisel and kukors and smit for the IM.
hoff is not a headcase. she has had many problems between her and yetter. that is enough to deal with |

For god's sake....nobody cares about which club is better except you fools...and that's what you sound like....fools. Tyler Johnson? Any self respecting coach (i.e. adult/mentor/etc.) would be repulsed and ashamed if their swimmer got on a message board and spoke like that. Your pride is evident and enviable, but your delivery is unnecessary and inappropriate. The hard core attitude is just one of many approaches a coach and program can take, but your words and your attitude towards other programs, coaches and swimmers is sad. Your coach should be embarrassed.
I'm writing this from the Northeast, where we struggle with year-round swimming compared to warm weather climates. We do what we can up here with an absence of 50-meter pools and 9-10 out of 12 months spent indoors. However, as usual....I can say....it was great to see another program and coach going about things their way. So thanks again Garrett. I don't care about Baylor or NAC, nor do I know the coaches or swimmers on each club. So....keep your little Spartan battles (by the way, that was strange and a bit cheesy) in the state of Tennessee....preferably in the pool. |

I'm wondering if Dan's still growing the stash all the way through Nationals? If so it's going to be a real treat to see!

It's hard when you are on a team where your teamate is your rival and turns on you(because of jealousy), it really makes the team fall apart if it's a small one.

"Get her act together"? What a bunch of crap..She is a world class swimmer that has started with a new coach and new training..Her "goal" meet is in three years. What she needs (and ziegler too ) is to spend this year figuring out what will work best for them and see the AH's that say "head case" or get "your act together" for what they are...

That was very well done. There is something that has played on
my mind all day when Blastoff said Peirsol must really respect this guy for breaking his world record in a Jaked. I do not think Peirsol does nor should respect it, done in a non- performance enhancing suit (now were talking). |

@ewiken:
"Hate to use him as an example all the time, but that was the major change in MPs training. He is a true mid-D swimmer despite his recent desire to sprint." What are you talking about? Recent? He went 51.1 in the 100 fly in Barcelona 03 probably weighing half of what he weighs now and he still only goes a 50.4 with the new suit (we'll see what happens this summer)... I'm a sprinter myself and I have dropped a little time in my 50's and 100's after really going insane in the weight room, but swimming is such an inefficient sport with so many x-factors, you can't just talk about transferring dryland power into the water... Especially the 200. Lots of weaklings with great technique, aerobic endurance and the ability to relax will still beat the horses |

Yeah, Katie H has not had a great season but she has said that she'll be ready at the final meet when she's tapered down. She always has great Nationals .

Blastoff,
You're right. Wildeboer is a stud and a supertalent. No idea why he hasn't been fast before the LZR era, but the guy is so well-coordinated and an unbelievable dryland guru, a real gymnast. His underwaters are filthy, vicious, ridiculous. That being said... 100 breast Stekelenburg NED 59.50 - 1.00.56 (went 1.01 at the same meet in a LZR) Feldwehr GER 59.45 - 1:01.67 Neumann GER 59.63 - 1:02.42 Koch GER 59.80 - 1:01.59 Barbosa 59.03 - 1:00.79 200 breast Koch GER 2:08.33 - 2:12.25 Neumann GER 2.09.87 - 2:14.56 Barbosa BRA 2:08.44 - 2:12.56 Cerdeira BRA 2:09.31 - 2:14.21 Best time this year and previous... If nothing seems unnatural to you here or "oh sure, it's still the same sport!!", then you need to lay off the whatever you're smoking |

I'd like to see Hayley McGregory step it up to her real level. She needs an international gold, and we know what she can do in the 100 back.

Here we are throwing a bunch of names around... but the question is, will these guys even swim the final of the events? Lochte hardly ever does the 100FR final, and he's entered in the 100BR and 400FR and like every other event... I doubt the 100FR is a priority for him. He'll probably look to put up a good time in the prelims and skip the finals if he makes it. He's always like the "back up" guy for the 4x100FR.

I think there are going to be some serious problems with these suits
at trials! These bodies aren't normal in these suits, they are so not for every body type. There are going to be lots of tears to come from alot of people. |

"And John Morse , for me, is the driving force of this culture. Through his brand of tough love and strange humor this man gave me more experiences and lessons that would stick with me than my own father. you better ****ing believe we'll be defensive, possessive, and johny on the ****ing spot on if he was quoted correctly or not.
This is ****ing sparta . " - the rest of what Tyler Johnson said on July 23, 2007 |

Phelps will be lucky to beat his time from the Olympics. His freestyle has been off of late and I don't think he has been very comfortable swimming with his new stroke. Plus, he's been fading at the end of his 100, which is very un-Phelpsian. 47.6 or 47.7 would be a good time, I'd be really surprised if he did that...
