The Evolution Of USA Swimming And The Ryan Lochte Dancing With The Stars Effect
I was surprised that the Danvers Dolfins posted their all time team records and that our old Danvers Dolphins 200 Medley Relay from the summer of 1970 still holds the Long Course team record and even more surprised that I still had the team 50 Fly Long Course record.
I couldn't help it but I got in touch with the backstroker Vin Cohee and breaststroker on the relay Jeff Parks. I have lost touch with Rob Call who swam freestyle on the relay. Vin is in California and Jeff is working in England and Asia, and residing in Houston.
Now the sport is so fast that neither our 200 medley relay or my 50 Fly are in the Top 100 all time age group rankings in USA Swimming.
The sport continues to grow and the evolution of the sport albeit with substantial rule changes continues.
Good luck to the USA Swimming national team at World Championships. It should be an interesting year for Ryan Lochte and the entire roster which includes Nathan Adrian and Missy Franklin.
The business of swimming continues to evolve along with the swimmers.

Michael Phelps Vs. Ryan Lochte The London 2012 War
Michael Phelps is 26, Ryan Lochte is 27 they aren't kids anymore.
They are and have been the top two swimmers in the World. Ryan Lochte has defeated Michael Phelps on the World stage consistently over the last two years. You don't need to remind Michael Phelps. Michael and Ryan have won gold medals and broken worlds records together as teammates. They are close friends with a bond that will never be broken but you can throw that all out of the window because Michael Phelps has no desire to appear in his final Olympics (held in London this summer) with individual losses to Ryan Lochte in his final appearance.
Michael Phelps has been consistent saying that he guarantees retirement after this summer. Why wouldn't he? He has nothing to prove and is the heir apparent to Rowdy Gaines as the NBC swimming announcer. Michael has been in the booth with both Rowdy Gaines and Dan Hicks, he likes the booth and doesn't need a towel when he leaves.
As for now the time will fly by for Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps as they are both far more serious about training after their summer performances in Shanghai, China at the FINA World Championships. Ryan Lochte beating Michael Phelps two for two this summer was an embarassment for Michael Phelps, one that he is reminded of every day when he jumps in the water and trains with Bob Bowman, one of the greatest coaches ever.
The war between Phelps and Lochte will be void of any artillery or weapons but there will be carnage when the summer 2012 London Olympics begin with the swimming events. Michael Phelps won't be beaten easily. No one knows that better than Ryan Lochte. I go into depth about the Ryan Lochte story at Brad Richdale book.
