Championnats suisses en petit bassin à Uster
J’écris cet article seulement un jour après la fin de la compétition. C’est un moment où je me pose encore beaucoup de questions sur la qualité de mon travail des dernières 12 semaines.
Résolution et non pas révolution
Avec le dernier bulletin du Vevey Natation a paru ma petite présentation pour les membres du club. J’avais promis de faire un petit mots par rapport à mon engagement au Vevey Natation. J’ai donc décidé de partager l’article du bulletin avec vous tous.
What’s the future of Swimming?
Recently I got caught up in a discussion with a swimmer friend about the future of technology. Somehow we ended up comparing the progress in technology to the progress in swimming. Please leave a comment a let us know what you think the future holds for swimming.
The Individual Team Sport
Over the past few weeks I had a hard time to find my way to the pool. Although I did swim almost every morning on my own and often did different workouts than my teammates in the evening, I was part of something bigger…a TEAM!
2010 Swimwear of the Year
Swimming in the years B.J. (before Jaked) supposedly wasn’t a sport of high interest. There seemed to be a lonely warrior, Michael Phelps, on a quest to bring swimming to the main stream and into the living rooms of millions of people.
Advice to Coaches (and Swimmers)
As coaching starts to become my primary responsibility at the pool, I realize there are five important things to keep in mind doing this job. I still consider myself a total rookie and this post is directed more toward swim coaches who are just beginning their coaching career.
Champion Ingredients
Something I get asked a lot lately particularly by people not familiar with swimming is “What makes a champion in your sport?”. What I’m about to tell you could apply to almost any sport but, of course, comes from what I believe makes for a great swimmer.
Finswimming Championships 2010
On Saturday June 12th I participated at the 2010 Finswimming Championships in Brig. In the midst of final exams at school and not really a great training regime I decided this was the one distraction needed to “recharge” my batteries.

Surge Strenght

There was a lot of hype around Chris Ritter’s Surge Strength ebook. I just bought the book which at $4.99 I think is a steal. If you have read it or have experience with Chris’ strength training program please let me know in the comments about your experiences.

Filed under: Videos | Tags: Olympics, Swimming
If you live outside the US, you can finally watch Ed Moses’ five-part chronicle “Against the Tide” that was on Universal Sports Network on YouTube. In the premiere episode of Against the Tide Ed finds himself back in the pool prepping for the 2012 London Olympics. His struggle and personal quest to return to his times and results from seven years ago are well-documented.
