"Chubbing Up" after swim career by
[email protected]
I swim at a University. The captain of the swim team is a nice gal who
sometimes coaches the masters and who lifeguards the lap swimmers.
We've always enjoyed chatting with her.
Her swim career ended in February at the conclusion of her final
season. Since then, she hasn't worked out at all, but...

"dismounting" from the pool at Montreal by
brd
Did any other Australians hear that rugby league expert, horse
follower and wannabe swimming commentator, Ray Warren, describe a
swimmer as "dismounting" from the pool at the world's
I can't remember who he was referring to. Anyone remember?
He also had both the men and women 100 breaststrokers...

"Dude Swims Like a Lady" by

Who sings that old rock 'n' roll standby? The one with an electric
guitar wailing high while the guy screams, "Dude looks like a
Ladeeee!".
Well it happened yet again. I'm waiting for the Master's workout to
start at the local University. Two females on swim scholarship come
on deck, jump in...

"More 'Boating Required" plead commentators by
Tim Chmielewski
In their daily Olympics show called "The Dream" commentators Roy & HG
said they missed the showboating that they had usually come to expect
from the the US team and are looking forward to more of it.
To demonstrate what they are looking for they played a clip of South
Africa celebrating after...

"No-sweat workout: water aerobics" by
[email protected]
No-sweat workout
Aquatic fitness classes seem like a great way for older Americans to
stay slim. The water supplies gentle weight resistance and allows for
exercise with minimal jarring of the joints. So why are so many young
athletes taking a dip alongside their senior peers?

"Olympic Special: Phelps' quest" by
Mike
Olympic Special: Phelps' quest
He is just 19, owns zero Olympic medals and probably would be
hard-pressed to match Mark Spitz's lustrous mustache, never mind his
unsurpassed legacy.

"Pool planning is no easy task" by
Mike
Pool planning is no easy task
While some people enjoy gathering at a community pool, others value
having a private getaway on their property. Similar to any other part
of the home, in-ground pools can be individualized to the tastes of
the owners.

"Ride the Power" by
[email protected]
My kids wrestle at the local High School. The wrestling room borders
the pool, so I overheard the Coach talking to his water polo team.
Looked to be the freshman team, or maybe a young teenage club team.
He asked the kids if any of them had bodysurfed over the summer. A
couple raised their hands....

The main purpose of this post is to point to a video of Grant Hackett
which I've had for awhile and which I think melds a great deal of what
we talk about here on the user group. It's at:

It's the ninth one down titled: "Hackett Thorpe catch up...

"Tucking" the arm and Tom Dolan by
[email protected]
I think I'm starting to get my money's worth out of Maglischo's book :)
For awhile now I've noticed some swimmers in my group who do a very
deep catch - arm nearly straight as it drops toward the bottom of the
pool. They usually do this while rotating to breath. If you do this
your hand will...

"USA! USA! USA! ..." by
[email protected]
I go to the Yahoo website, and I'm stunned when I look at the current
events part on the right side because the headline reads that Grant
Hackett smashed Ian Thorpe's Swimming World Record. They only have a
few line items there, so I never would have believed that swimming
would make it onto that...
