Your club program. It was featured on floswimming in the last two years, and mine wasn't. That really makes me mad for one reason: my club program is way better than your program. Oh, I know you've had your successes. But lets be serious, your team is only a USA Swimming Gold Club, and my team is so amazing that they created the USA Swimming Diamond Club because it was that good. Can you beat that? We had a dual meet last week with Team Australia. They stopped scoring after the first event because we won by so much. This issue is really important to me because swimming for the best team in the country is my goal in life. Its going to open up all sorts of doors for me. Last week, President Obama called up my club coach and asked him what to do about North Korea. My coach said he was busy and that he would call Barack back when the long course season was over. My coach is incredibly awesome. One time he made eye contact with one of my teammates right before he swam and the kid immediately dropped 10 seconds in a fifty. Your coach is terrible and really overrated. The only reason people think he is good is because he has good swimmers, and they all came from another club before that Thats not all I have to get off my chest. I saw that your state's high school swimming has been featured on floswimming. What a joke. My state is the best state in the history of high school swimming. I looked at your state results. Did you know that my state's 12th place finisher in the 200 freestyle was way faster than your state's? Well now you do. Pwned. So why don't you crawl back into the hole you and your team/state came from and never appear again. In the meantime, I have a bone to pick with one Garrett McCaffrey. How could he not show up to our pool unannounced and uninvited? How rude!

We are now in the dawn of the professional swimming athlete, tech suits, and more importantly, the age of Michael Phelps. We are getting the press. I feel that we have reached the point where we are getting many of the negatives of being a premier sport, but we haven’t quite capitalized on all of the positives. Brent Rutemiller at Swimming World recently made the case that there has never been a better time than now to take the plunge. A professional swim league that embraces suit technology could be the perfect way to keep the Olympics and our traditional system intact and pure, while allowing the suit companies to innovate and keep the sport fresh and growing. Who says we can’t have meets that don’t follow FINA rules? The high schools have been operating that way for years. It would not surprise me if the NFHS continued to allow tech even if FINA goes back to permeable with length restrictions. So what if we were to host a meet where the times wouldn’t count as traditional world records? Why couldn’t we add the 50’s of the strokes and underwater fly kicking as events without pressuring FINA to add it to their meets? This honestly could let FINA off the hook regarding suits, and give us a way to resolve the issues that might come up with the looming decision on whether or not to let records set in technology stand. It would not have to be done with a spirit of defiance… It could be something completely separate from the way we currently do things, but it could be done in the interest of enhancing and promoting our traditional system. We now have hubs of post-college excellence in teams like Club Wolverine, North Baltimore, Mecklenburg and the Race Club. Why not have suit company sponsored training sites with sponsored coaches leading them? Team TYR and Team Speedo could have a whole new meaning. They could set up a college-style system of dual meets and a championship, or even a system of invites for pro athletes similar to the Grand Prix series that would not interfere with our current club system. They could keep it light and fun, and give pro athletes a way to take an exciting detour during the season and generate income to keep their traditional swim careers progressing. I would personally buy a ticket to watch Ian Crocker put on a tech suit and put Lochte and Hill Taylor to shame with some serious fly kicking. College or high school format duals would be fun. Eight man 50 free shootouts are a blast. Anything that makes swimming more spectator friendly could be fair game. Come on, guys. Let’s get creative. Just like butterfly spawned from people innovating their breaststroke technique, a great thing could come out of suit companies innovating their products. Let’s help write a mission statement for this thing and come up with a way to end the fighting over tech. Let’s allow it to bring our sport to a new and exciting place while simultaneously ending the debates over the purity of the sport. In the comments section below, I want to know what you would like to include in the mission statement, format and rules for a professional league. Let’s bust the door to the house of ideas wide open. We could create a real solution.

Brett does a pretty good job of using the team to create confidence for the individual. Floswimming http://www.floswimming.org/videos/speaker/1032-brett-hawke Thu, 02 Jul 2009 03:42:00 -0500 http://www.floswimming.org/blogs/blogger/Darren Grose/7020-missing-pieces We've seen it happen at every level. A team is loaded at the top with two, maybe three studs. But the relative quality of the supporting cast is a bigger drop off than the one over the edge of half dome. The Japanese men are a classic example. In Beijing and Athens, the Japanese relays dropped one or two medal spots thanks to inferior freestylers. Roma 2009 is just around the corner, and a number of countries have shown great promise in certain events, but have produced a grand total of zero contendors in others. Here are a few countries with major superstars that are a few swimmers short of gaining the dark horse moniker. Spain, Men's 4x100 Medley: Espana is home to the reigning short course 100 backstroke world record holder, Aeschwin Wildeboer. Wildeboer is no slouch over a 50 meter course either. He is currentley ranked third in the long course 100 back, having recorded a 52.93 at Spanish Nationals. Rafa Munoz may well be the next Ian Crocker, and if he does not succumb to the same curse as Ian Crocker (Michael Phelps), he is in a league of his own. But Spain's fastest breaststroker, Melquiades Alvarez, is currentley ranked 18th in the world at 1:00.59. And the Red Fury's fastest 100 freestyler is Jose Alanso, at 49.74. Spain is going to need a much stronger back half than that in order to contend for a medal, especially since neither the Americans or the Aussies have shown all their cards yet. Sweden, Men's 4x100 Free: Stefan Nystrand has signed with Arena, and has begun a more intense weight lifting program, so don't be surprised to see a big smile affixed to that shiny dome as Nystrand ascends the podium between the seven hills. Jonas Perrson is capable of a low 47, but 35 year old Lars Frolander reached his summit in Sydney, and Petter Stymne's best of 49.17, set in the water cube, just doesn't cut it anymore. The fifth place 4x100 free relay from Beijing may well be intact this summer, but as things stand on paper, the Swedes have a better chance of succesfully ravaging the British isles in a dragon headed longship than contending in the battle between the French, Aussies and Americans. ?

However, rather than bore you with a rundown of all the events, I'm going to give you a couple of what I think are the most interesting subplots of the Trials meet. The meet itself is crucial from a psychological standpoint- last year the American squad mostly watched a world record onslaught from afar and then put on a show in Omaha. So far this summer we've seen some serious spikes from a number of traditionally bit players internationally: Brazil, Spain and even a bit of a comeback from the German men. Can the US answer the bell again? Lets get started: 1. Are American sprinting men screwed without Jason Lezak? Unless you were in a coma last August, you know that the US needed one of, if not the greatest, relay performance of all time to beat the French in the vaunted world sprint battle that is the 4x100 relay. This year, France looks locked and loaded again, with 4 of the top 6 100 freestylers in the world. The only possible chink in the armor I can see is Amaury Leveaux, who despite a time of 47.7 at French trials and an earlier year SCM world record of 44.9, seems to be in a bit of a funk and a little psyched out by "the suits". The Aussies return all the members of a bronze medal winning relay, but its unclear whether Eamon Sullivan can still give them an ace in the hole after recovering from another surgery. Meanwhile, the US still has every piece but Lezak intact: Phelps, Weber-Gale and Jones. Matt Grevers looms as a solid replacement- will he continue to improve as he did last summer? Will one of either Nathan Adrian or Jimmy Feigen translate their impressive SCY swims to LCM this July? In order to think about winning gold or medaling individually in this event, the US will need to find a sprinter besides Lezak that is capable of going below 47.5. The current best times of the above mentioned swimmers are: Adrian: 48.46 Feigen: 49.77 Jones: 48.35 Weber-Gale: 47.78 Grevers: 48.53 2. Who will emerge as the top US male breaststroker? Where have you gone Brendan Hansen? Although Brendan had an off meet at the Beijing Olympics, he was generally a lock to medal and push the American medley relay ahead for good. So far this summer, Eric Shanteau has been the most impressive American male. We didn't see the best of Eric at last summer's olympics as he battled testicular cancer. Mark Gangloff is the other mainstay, as reliable as Hansen but not as fast. Neither swimmer has broken 1:00, the new standard for international competitiveness. Meanwhile, Scott Spann did make a solid showing at Santa Clara with 1:02/2:16, but will have to be better than last summer, no sure thing given his long recovery from knee problems. Lastly, can Sean Mahoney make the leap in the 200 breast? Lets hope so. 3. Is the women's IM field more wide open than we think? Again, Katie Hoff has pretty much been a lock here for the last few years. But this summer, she has struggled a little after her layoff. We won't know for sure what her form is until the start of the meet. Elizabeth Beisel, coming off a dramatic improvement last year in the 400 IM, looks equally as strong this summer. Everyone knows about Dagny Knutson, who will be vying for her first spot on an international senior team. However, Ariana Kukors has been flying under the radar this summer, if you can call 2:10 and 4:38 flying under the radar. Kukors was just one stroke away from making Beijing in the 200 IM, and seems to have continued to improve. In any case, these swimmers will likely have to break 2:10 and 4:30 to medal in this event in Rome, so all have some drops to make in the next month. I guess we'll see in Indy. Chris DeSantis http://www.floswimming.org/blogs/blogger/Chris DeSantis/7701-world-champs-trials-preview Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:34:00 -0500 http://www.floswimming.org/blogs/blogger/David Guthrie/7700-michael-vs-usain-round-2-happy-birthday-michael Round 1: I defended the validity of spreading the athletic achievement awards around, recognizing barrier-shattering performances—even in the shadow of Phelps. After Bolt first set the 100m WR at 9.72, a bewildered Tyson Gay remarked that he realized he would have to run 9.6 to capture the record for himself. Still trying to figure out how to do that, now it looks like he'll have to drop down below 9.6 to achieve his goal. Still, the AOTY award is not the ultimate prize. Round 2:In my opinion, Michael's achievement in Beijing's WaterCube dwarfs Usain Bolt's incredible flights around the Bird's Nest. It's not even a contest. Bolt's was a spike, an astounding but singular peak performance. He's flat out amazing—owner of the greatest sprint performances of all time—but we'll have to wait to see what else Bolt does in the future before we really know who he is. He's not the greatest Olympian yet. That title belongs to Michael. It is conceivable that Usain could eventually catch up with Michael, but it's going to take a lot of medals and WRs to do it. Even with a third premiere event, the 400m, it's hard to imagine how Usain could ever catch him without track's "glam-factor" multiplier. It appears almost inevitable that Usain will soon add the 400m to his menu and feast on the field and the record book in that distance too. When that happens, Usain Bolt will have his Rushmore status. Michael already has Rushmore status. It's worthwhile to make a quick review of Michael's portfolio. What Michael did in each of his three Olympic appearances is astonishing, each setting precedents, each precedent light-years beyond the previous. Michael's resume' is a list of first firsts. They've even had to invent some new categories to chart his achievements. Most mosts—ever. Usain? Not yet. Just an inexperienced kid of barely 15 going into Sydney, Phelps emerged as a world contender in the 200m fly, one of the sport's "baddest badass" events. Breezing through his preliminary races, the young rookie won his preliminary heat (3rd overall), finished 4th overall in the semis, and placed a close 5th among wall-to-wall veterans in his first Olympic final. Defending champion, Denis Pankratov (b74), at the time the only man not named Mark Spitz to sweep the Olympic fly golds (:52.27WR - 1:56.51), swam in lane 8. Tom Malchow, the reining world champion and world record holder, swam in lane 4. Was the kid intimidated? Hardly. After trailing in last place for the first 150 meters, Michael turned on his signature after-burners and made up a full body length on the entire field on the last 50. At the finish, he was back in contention, just missing the bronze at the touch. Suddenly, Michael was a fast-moving flash on the world swimming radar screen. The kid was as fearless as he was talented. Sure enough, a few months later at the 2001 U.S. spring nationals, at age 15, he became the youngest world-record holder in men’s swimming history when he posted 1 min 54.92 sec in the 200-meter butterfly.Because I don't have all day to write this, I'll skip over the achievements Michael racked up between Olympic years. I also wrote about his courage in Athens in a previous blog (Phelps Phan), so I'll skip that astonishing opus as well. Skipping forward to Beijing, eight years and 8 Athens medals later, Michael added 8 more to his tally. Notably, Michael (with the miraculous performances of his stellar relay teammates) tied the nation of Italy and out-medalled all but 8 countries including France, Spain, Canada, and....Jamaica! Speaking of Jamaica, to compare Michael to Usain, let's look at the technical skill, training, conditioning, mastery, and versatility each athlete demonstrated. After his first race in Beijing, the grueling 400 IM, Michael won this matchup, hands down. Swimming vs Running in these terms is no contest. Sure, there's technique in running, especially in the sprints, but nothing compared to what it takes to master a single stroke in swimming, let alone all four. In terms of pure technical difficulty, the 100m Dash doesn't compare to even the 50m Free, much less an IM event. The 400 IM is the decathlon of swimming. Tom Dolan always liked to say he was the greatest swimmer when he owned the IM's. Tough to argue with that. Michael not only took charge of the swimming quadrathlon, he assumed ownership of swimming's other "strongest man" events in two different strokes, while threatening a third. In the IMs in Beijing, Phelps pulled away in the breaststroke against the fastest IMer/breaststrokers ever. Ryan Lochte swims :53+ SCY—unrested. Laslo Cseh has been 2:14.1 in the 200 breaststroke LCM. Breaststrokers should be relieved that Michael has his hands (and schedule) full with the other 3 strokes. If Phelps decides to focus on breaststroke, he'll take the record to 2:05 immediately, and probably down to 2:00 before he was through with it. Who knows? Maybe he really will add breaststroke as he looks for new challenges and shorter races. I definitely can see Michael swimming :58 in the 100 if he puts his mind to it. So, back to Beijing, Michael's 400IM alone soundly beat Usain's 100m and 200m sprints, and Michael hadn't even gotten warmed up. The true measure of what Michael did to collect another 7 gold medals over the next week has never been taken. He sustained world record quality performances every day during a week-long test of strength and endurance that no one else can even attempt. Physically, it was like a week of Tour de France time trials, each presenting a different challenge, each completed in world record time. Michael not only endured a marathon of sprints and marathons that could only be attempted by a person with extraordinary mental and physical strength and perfect technique, he managed his energy and emotions while his every move was scrutinized and recorded by the world press. Hey, no pressure. He not only endured; he conquered. And he did this against what is by far the fastest and deepest competition in the history of the sport. In his career so far, Michael has already faced a complete Hall of Fame—all of them at their peaks. The great Thorpe? Vanquished. van den Hoogenband? Gone. Michael even has the ability to challenge Aaron Peirsol, the undisputed greatest backstroker in history, in an "off" event, and does so regularly. Usain can't say that. It's not like he beat Michael Johnson head to head at the Olympics. Usain faced a depleted field. Michael is by far the greatest swimmer ever. Yet, it's not like there is no one close to his physical ability. Both Lochte and Cseh are probably just as skilled and physically gifted. But they are following in his wake, almost pulled along by Phelps. Without Phelps, those guys probably wouldn't be operating in the stratosphere they're in. Michael created that space. His performances remove barriers for those guys—and change them for everyone else. There's only one barrier no one can break—Michael himself. Michael's mental strength and his lion heart are equal to his physical ability. Because of this extraordinary combination of two extraordinary strengths, Phelps has thrust the sport into uncharted realms—into a premature future—single-handedly. The main reason that the world rankings look so different than they did 8 years ago is Michael Phelps. To match that, Bolt still has some work to do, but he could do the same thing to track. To do it, he'll need to stay on top for at least a generation, like Phelps. One outrageous performance does not redefine a sport. Bob Beamon's 29 foot leap didn't elevate the performances of all jumpers. It took decades to catch up to that spike, that anomaly. If Beamon had been able to regularly repeat that performance and surpass it at another Olympics or two, he probably would have had a few jumpers breathing down his neck by then, and 30'+ leaps would be commonplace now. But Beamon wasn't Phelps. So, we'll have to wait to see how long and how often Bolt can strike. Meanwhile, Michael will just keep pulling farther ahead, beyond the horizon.

Where were you for the conclusion of the greatest Olympic performance in history? 17 races, 8 days, 7 world records, 8 olympic records, 8 Gold Medals, 1 blue print that Bob Bowman worked to perfection. Bowman learned how to develop the elite Olympian as a young assistant under Paul Bergan during the Tracy Caulkins era. It's a game plan that has been in the works for well over a decade. The Olympic portion began when he was still a boy, as he burst onto the five ringed scene at 15. Four years later was the test run. Bowman and his boy wonder were venturing into uncharted territory in 2004 and they still managed to walk away from Athens with 6 golds. After the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne any educated swim fan had to see this coming.  Thank goodness for Alain Bernard and Milarod Cavic. Without worthy opponents, Phelps's feat would lose its luster. Cavic's quotes provided something that American sports commentators make their living on... drama. Phelps losing the 100 fly wouldn't have been good for swimming, but Cavic saying it would be was. Without a little trash talk, the 4x100 free relay wouldn't have felt as sweet for the American swim fan. This was a huge step for swimming because of those contributions.  Enjoy the moment Michael. Enjoy the fact that you are the biggest star on the planet right now. You've said for a while now that your goal is to bring the sport to the next level, and you've done that. Now in these next few months we all have to figure out how to exist on this new level you've carried us to...   David Guthrie http://www.floswimming.org/articles/view/523-8 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:18:00 -0500 http://www.floswimming.org/articles/view/507-jason-lezak-for-president 50 meters away from the French following through on their trash talk. 25 meters away from Phelps falling short of eight golds. 10 meters of the best relay finish ever. 4 seconds under the World Record. Phelps AR (47.51), Webber-Gale (47.02), Jones (47.65), LEZAK (46.06)! What a cherry on top of the greatest swimming session in history. 4 world records. Women's 100 Back, Kirsty Coventry (58.77). Men's 100 Breast, Kosuke Kitajima (58.91). Men's 100 Free, Eamon Sullivan (47.24 Relay lead-off). Men's 4x100 Free Relay (4:08.24).
