	USAswimFan posted June 17 at 7:07pm. I think diversity is needed in any sport. We need Mike Bottoms and Bob Bowmans. All of one or the other is boring and not productive. I am always hesitant though when a swim coach sees no excitement in "Traditional back and forth swimming." Coach Bottom has done an amazing job with some exceptional athletes. The key word being exceptional-not the norm. For most kids picking a sport, if land based activity and the least amount of swimming possible is really your thing then swimming may not be the sport for you. I just hope the Urbanchek legacy is given more than a ping degree of respect.

Mike Bottom

The Bottom Line

June 14, 2008

One of the most laid back dudes ever. Mike's approach is even keel because to him swimming's not life, it's a part of life. This interview is really a look into the kind of relationship Mike has with his swimmers.
Oh yeah and Mike, you won't have to worry about those peacocks jumping in front of your car up in Ann Arbor. Congrats on the new gig. Good luck in the next couple months.
