I think Sun has a good chance to win Olympic gold in 200m, but I feel as if the rubber-suit WR is out of his reach.
As for 100m international titles, I think that would be a stretch. 10k gold not a...

There is a small handful of US high schools with 50m pools--nearly all because it was built as the community pool. Most US high schools have no pool. I've never lived in a community where the HS had...

I would love to see Katie Ledecky (and Sun Yang) in open water

Not only because she's the fastest woman in the world in 400/800/1500 but because her longer, controlled-tempo stroke (I read a lengthy article on her training by Yuri Sugiyama her coach and he...

No such thing as a 'too fast' pool

I've swum in a fair few of the pools considered state of the art, and must say in every instance it's been an uplifting experience. While I can consistently experience states of something close to...

Upon qualifying for the national team, US swimmers do receive media training arranged by USA Swimming. The national organization also does much to cultivate team spirit, among swimmers who come from...

Correct. Not good to let even a seemingly slight detail, that most would overlook, go uncorrected in a distance swimmer--probably high mileage trainer. Especially given the stakes, as she's currently...

Yangtastic indeed.
There were 4 or 5 swimmers who swam faster than Yang on the first 100, but no one in the entire field was within 2 seconds!!! of his final 200 time.

His splits 50.6-52.5 --...

I'd thought of going back to calculate differential for French swimmers, but lacked the time so thank you for doing so. I think one could make the case that the French won the gold--not by...

Sun was clearly just toying with (tantalizing?) them until final 3 lengths.

Stuff I can't help noticing--and thinking:

Notice: How McBroom lifts his head every breath--so noticeable as he swims...

Richard
My apologies. I meant to quote you from the post on which you put up links to 4x100 women and I seem to somehow have edited instead. Or deleted. Or something. Now your post is missing.

Here, for comparison and perhaps analysis, is the women's 4x100 relay, with a terrific final leg from Megan Romano after Cate Campbell had seemed to open up an unassailable lead on the first...

I like her swimming. Very controlled stroke. I counted a few lengths. She took 40 strokes on her 4th length, then held 39 on 5-6-7, finishing at 40 on the last length. Excellent SL for a woman.

On the men's 4x100, two US swimmers made the same mistake that cost the US gold in the same event in (2004?) Olympics v. Australia. Overswimming the first leg. Repeatedly the US would pull to a large...
