  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

  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.

  I had the honor to meet Alex a couple times over the past year while the USA Open Water team spent some time training in the Florida Keys. Alex is the first USA swimmer to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics with his top 10 finish in the 10km at the recent Open Water World Championships.

  Warm down – This is at the end of practice to cool down the muscles. The warm down could be done as slow as the swimmer would like. They should not race through it because that does not help the body cool down. It is also very important not to skip this part of practice because if the muscles do not cool down properly they may get tight and this is very commonly the reason for injuries.
