GoSwim GoldSmall Change
2 commentsAt the end of every GO SWIM camp or clinic, you'll always hear the coaches say, "Thanks for coming. We learned far more from you swimmers than you learned from us." Well, it's true.
Amanda H's Camp Report
When I arrived at camp in Cornwall, I was swimming like an eight-year old. The coaches worked with me through the week so well that, when I left, I was swimming like a 9-year old (I turned 9 on the last day of camp) .
07/22/04 CCB Masters Phelps Practice Again
This is a practice that appeared in the most recent issue of Men's Journal. It was written by Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps's coach. I've given this to several groups of swimmers, and have swum it several times myself, and I REALLY like it (so do the other swimmers). We did it again this morning.
07/21/04 Stretch the Pool
Here's the practice I did this morning in my local 20-yard pool. I actually like swimming in this short pool. It reminds me of the YMCA pool where I first began swimming. Also, it's the perfect length for using a swim tether.
04/20/04 Breaststroke Drill Practice
I've been working on our upcoming breaststroke drills video, and have been trying out some of the drills in practice.
04/20/04 CCB Masters Triathlon Prep
Do you remember what you were doing 35 years ago today, when Apollo 11 landed on the moon? I was at a swim meet in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. They had a small TV in the guard office that we watched.
07/19/04 Breaststroke Practice in 20-Yard Pool
Swim twice through the following. Use fins for the first 600; no fins on the second 600.
07/15/04 CCB Masters Drills and Descends
Many of the team members did triathlons and bike races last weekend, so I wanted to pull back a bit this week and do some drills and shorter repeats (100s).
Our Friends at US Olympic Swimming Trials
Last week, I had the privilege of heading to Long Beach, California, to watch one of the most intense athletic competitions in the world. In thinking about how to describe this event to our readers and to those who watched the Trials on TV or followed the coverage in the major newspapers, one phrase comes to mind: There are two sides to every story.
The Reunion
What happens when you get 200 past Olympians and National team members together at the Olympic Trials? To be honest, you get the BEST ab workout you've had in YEARS.
Hard Water Summer Tour 2004
When I was younger I always wanted to be a rock star. I was intrigued by the lifestyle that they get to lead.
07/08/04 CCB Masters Phelps Practice
Don't miss the August issue of Men's Journal! It features a lot of America's top male athletes and Olympic hopefuls, including several US swimmers -- Brad Schumacher, Gary Hall, Jr., Scott Tucker, Michael Phelps, Erik Vendt, and Lenny Krayzelburg. Included in the magazine is a swim workout designed by Phelps's coach, Bob Bowman. It's notched down a bit for mortal swimmers, but I did the workout this morning with the team, and can attest that it's tough enuf.
The Alaina & Katrice Camp Article
We (Alaina and Katrice) are 16-year-old girls who have been swimming for more than ten years and who have attended many different swim camps. Last year -- and again this year -- we attended Glenn's Go Swim summer camp.
Confessions of a Day Camper Swim Mom
"Hey, Mom. Doesn't that camp we signed up for back in February start tomorrow?!? Oh my gosh! Once we verified that Go Swim's Cornwall camp would start in just nine hours -- at 7:00 am Monday morning -- we began the mad dash to assemble all the essentials:
