I certainly don't think this is technological doping...
MANCHESTER, England (AP) -- FINA president Mustapha Larfaoui defended swimmers Wednesday who have broken world records in Speedo's new high-tech LZR Racer suit.
At the same time, though, Larfaoui is open to changing the rules if the swimsuit's ultra-lightweight technology, based on NASA intelligence, is deemed to give competitors an unfair advantage.

It seems like every day another community is struggling to either upgrade exisiting or build new aquatic facilities. I wonder how much of it is backlash against traditional swimming venues at the high school and University levels and their incentive to drop the swimming programs first: Talk to us, Dynoswimmers. anyone have any theories?

You have to love the underdog. I also sympathize with Adam Small, now he has to contend with all the pressure of being the next Gary Hall jr. (only better as some might say). It would have been great to see it, that's for sure. By the way, Dynoswimmers are huge fans of Gary
~By Brian Savard
TEMPE, Arizona, November 4. TEN Olympic medals. American record holder in the 50 meter freestyle. One of the most decorated sprinters in the history of U.S. swimming.
Thumbing through the accomplishments of Gary Hall Jr. causes one to reflect upon his impact as one of the fastest sprinters in history.
His accomplishments, then, make his records sacred, and whenever one is broken, it stands as a special event.

Generally speaking, I think swimmers tend to be good sports. You don't see too many after race victory dances and trash talking. But that might only be because participation in swimming is overshadowed by the traditional "three letter" sports.
We do have our share of idiots though, like back during the Sydney games when Amy van Dyken spat in Inge de Bruijn's lane before the 50 Free. Actually the whole U.S. team was a bit rowdy that year (2000) offending just about everyone with chants of "USA" and "Number 1!". It sounds harmless, but in the international venues it's important to remember that you truly represent your country and your actions will define the United States, its values, and citizens as a whole. In short: be on your best behavior - not just when you make it to the elite level, but when you're representing yourselves too.
I like the way Mike Gustafson describes his bout with cockiness as an 11 year-old in his Guide to Sportsmanship in this week's Timed Finals.
Anyone recall their most embarrassing unsportsmanlike experience?

SYDNEY, Australia, January 30. Shane Gould, the Australian legend who won five Olympic medals during her illustrious career, told the Daily Telegraph that she would like to see athletes under the age of 18 deemed ineligible for the Olympic Games. Gould thinks a rule of that sort would prevent burnout at a young age.
The Australian Olympic Committee said it doesn't believe an age limit is necessary, but Gould believes youngsters in the spotlight are being placed under an enormous amount of pressure, sometimes causing them to leave the sport. Gould was 15 at the 1972 Games in Munich and retired a year later after feeling intense pressure from the Aussie public.

The Associated Press, Thursday, August 3, 2006; 1:08 PM
Otylia Jedrzejczak had Poland on a world-record pace after the first 200 meters, but her team faded quickly and Germany took over the lead after 300 meters. Steffen finished the third leg just 0.07 seconds ahead of world-record pace, but Liebs swam the anchor leg in 1:55.64, the team's fastest performance, to seal the victory and the record.
"In the end I swam full speed despite the large lead, because I feared someone could catch me," Liebs said.
After three legs, Germany led Poland by 3.11 seconds. France finished third. On Monday, Dalmann, Steffen, Liebs and Daniela Goetz set a world record in the women's 400 freestyle relay. Steffen also set an individual world record Wednesday in the 100 freestyle.

Fina World Cup finals session at the Nassau County Aquatic Center on Long Island, NY. It was great seeing some of the best swimmers in the world compete. I got to see Michael Phelps come from behind and win the 200m freestyle with a new American Record, and also win the 200m Individual Medley. Tara Kirk, Peter Marshall, and Frederick Bousquet all won their respective events as well. It was amazing to see how flawless and effortless everyone's stroke technique looked, yet they were swimming so fast!
This event will also be televised on Feb. 18 at 5 PM EST, on the Outdoor Life Network (OLN).
