GoSwim Gold
Print this entryGo Swim London 2012
Go Swim would like to honor and salute all swimmers, worldwide, who strive to represent their countries in the Olympics. Over the years, we've been lucky enough to work with many of these swimmers, capturing them at the height of their form so that other swimmers can learn from what they do.
This year, we are especially proud of the following swimmers -- all part of the Go Swim "family" of swimmers -- for their achievements at their countries' various Olympic Trials. If one of their swims is listed in boldface, it means they will be competing in this event at the 2012 London Olympics. If you'd like to support these amazing athletes, and look more closely at their technique, pick up a copy of their DVDs or pick up a subscription to www.goswimtv.com, where you can find them all (the professional swimmers).
Congratulations, everyone, and we wish you fast swims in London!
