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.
