From USASwimming.org, By Mike Gustafson:
As we wind down the year, we turn our attention toward others in the community who are bringing a positive and profound impact on our sport’s diversity and water safety efforts. There are a few in the swimming world who strive to bring the sport of swimming to all races and ethnicities across the country, and they need to be recognized.

I believe that we in the drowning prevention field need to share information and resources more efficiently and effectively. I believe we must begin to videotape conference presentations and post them to YouTube so a wider range of people can benefit from the…

Location: Knoxville, TN
Date: 15th-22nd of December, 2011
Competition: National ranking/ Olympic Trial qualification
So the meet is over now, but looking back on the week I think the cards fell in the spots they did- for a reason. I worked very hard to be where I am at right now but I dont think I could have done it with out trusting in the Lord and believing in what my coaches taught me.
OK so going back to day one, December 15th (One-meter…

The scene in the locker room was all too familiar. Mothers with a variation of determined, frazzled, happy or ‘I’m just about to blow’ looks on their face wrestling pudgy toddler arms into winter coats and trying to maneuver feet into boots while the same oblivious child is determined to explore the lockers,…

Houston, TX - “You have to know the past to understand the present.”-Sagan
Excerpts from Chron.com, by Lauren Mathis:
It was 1960, when Johnnie Means was told his students, who were black, couldn’t take part in a Houston swimming meet. The experience inspired a young black coach during the turbulent era of segregation. In the summer of 1960, the Amateur Athletic Union invited all Houston-area YMCAs to a swimming meet. The event was held at the then-segregated Houston Shamrock…

From the Daily Pilot, By Patrice Apodaca:
Entrepreneurs are intriguing people. Their brains are wired a bit differently. The wheels are always turning, they have trouble sitting still, and they're always on the hunt for a new concept, an overlooked niche, a creative solution, or simply a way of doing the same old thing just a little bit better.
During my…

Daisey Arechiga and Alondra Padilla, freshmen at Oakland Charter High School, were sprawled out the grass in front of the Oakland Strokes boathouse, facing the Estuary, on a scorching weekday afternoon. Arechiga and Padilla are part of the Strokes novice team. They’d finished their one-mile run. They’d finished…

The hiatus has been too long. And my body knew it.
No matter I’ve been working out 6 days a week. No matter that I completed the 100 pushup challenge, the 200 squat challenge, and have finished 4 weeks of couch to 5k training.
When I hit the water, my body let me know it’s been a long time since I’d seriously swum. I managed 500 yards in 20 or so minutes. I think I swim too fast for me to be able to sustain my pace in freestyle. I did most of my laps on my back. I decided not…
