CSCAA: Celebrating 91 Years of Service to College Swimming by brent t . rutemiller

The College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) turns 91 this year.

It is the oldest organization of college coaches in America. Today, its goal remains the same: to serve and provide leadership for the advancement of the sport of swimming at the collegiate level.

According to its mission statement, “The CSCAA recognizes outstanding achievements by coaches and swimmers; promotes communication and cooperation both within the sport of swimming and with fellow Olympic sports; protects, promotes and seeks to expand competitive intercollegiate swimming programs; recommends rules and regulations to the NCAA; sponsors events; certifies new coaches; provides ongoing educational and leadership training for coaches and athletes; and serves as a source of information to its membership and for the general public.”

The CSCAA began an annual tradition in 1933 when they created the College Swim Coaches Forum in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., so that coaches and athletes could trade ideas about training and technique during winter break. The environment and weather was so intoxicating that many NCAA swimmers and friends traveled back to Florida after their season ended. This annual migration is now known as “Spring Break.” This college rite of passage, now a part of American culture, can be clearly traced back to the early days of CSCAA. The CSCAA had other influences. In 1964 during its Forum, it was decided that swimming needed a shrine to honor its great athletes and coaches. That same year, the Swimming Hall of Fame was created. Four years later, the Federation Internationale de Natation Amateur (FINA) sanctioned the Swimming Hall of Fame as the official International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF).

Today, the CSCAA has more than 2,000 member coaches and assistant coaches. It recognizes All-American college swimmers with certificates every year. Additionally, when swimmers break an NCAA record, they are recognized directly by the organization.

CSCAA also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Each year, Scholar AllAmerican awards are presented to NCAA swimmers and divers who have qualified for their national championship while achieving a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher. Honorable Mention Scholar All-American awards are also presented to those who excel in the classroom and earn an NCAA “B” cut standard. A Team Scholar All-American award is presented to teams who have achieved a team cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.

Now under new leadership, led by Joel Shinofield as its executive director, CSCAA recently announced the continuation of The Jean Freeman Memorial Scholarship.

This program, whose namesake served for 31 years as the head women’s swimming coach at Minnesota before passing away from cancer in 2010, was established last year to inspire new leadership. The scholarships, including lodging and airfare, will be awarded to one male and female assistant coach from each NCAA division to attend the CSCAA convention.

“Our hope is that these coaches will come away seeing opportunities and ways that they can be involved with the sport. It is important that they become involved so they can identify issues and network with established coaches,” says Shinofield.

Join CSCAA today at www.cscaa.org and become involved. If you are already a member, make your “Spring Break” plans to attend the CSCAA convention, May 15-17, at the Walt Disney World Resort. v

If the men follow suit a week later, the Golden Bears would become only the second Division I school to win both the women’s and men’s titles three years in a row.

S

wimming World is riding the University of California bandwagon this year by picking both its men and women to win the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships for the third straight year. Only Stanford has accomplished

the feat, with its women’s and men’s squads winning the team titles in 1992-94.

After the women’s (March 21-23) and men’s (March 28-30) meets— both being held at the IU Natatorium and IUPUI Sports Complex in Indianapolis—coaches Teri McKeever (women) and Dave Durden (men) should join Stanford coaches Richard Quick (women) and Skip Kenney (men) as the only Division I coaches to pull off a double threepeat.

1. CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS

McKeever’s squad just continues to reload with ridiculously talented swimmers. After losing senior stalwarts Sara Isakovic and Liv Jensen—both NCAA titlists a year ago—the Golden Bears added Olympian Rachel Bootsma and American record holder Elizabeth Pelton. And, lest we forget, this year’s top high school recruit, Olympian Missy Franklin, has already committed to Cal for a two-year stint beginning with the 2013-14 season.

But even without Franklin, this year’s team is more than ready to meet the challenge, returning 201.5 points of the 412.5 it scored to win its second straight championship.

In addition to the remarkable new talent, Cal also has outstanding veteran leadership with senior Caitlin Leverenz and junior Cindy Tran. Leverenz, who claimed a bronze medal at the recent Olympics in the 200 meter IM, accounted for a hefty 77 points a year ago with a pair of NCAA titles in the 200 yard breast and 200 IM. She also helped her team to wins in the 200 and 400 medley relays. Meanwhile, Tran—the reigning 100 back NCAA titlist— will have some seriously intense competition at this year’s NCAAs from her own teammates, Bootsma and Pelton.

Cal also has a solid nucleus of point scorers returning with Stephanie Au, Kaylin Bing, Catherine Breed, Melanie Klaren and Caroline Piehl, as well as diver Kahley Rowell, who finished fifth on the platform

last year as a sophomore. And in addition to Bootsma and Pelton, Coach McKeever welcomes freshmen Rachael Acker, Lauren Driscoll and Kelly Naze, who all have the potential to make an impact for Cal.

2. GEORGIA BULLDOGS

On paper, Georgia could very well have been this year’s No. 1 preseason pick. After all, it has nearly its entire squad (272.5 points—71 more than Cal) returning from last year’s second-place squad that tallied 366 points. And Olympic gold medalist Allison Schmitt returns to the fold after a redshirt season. The Bulldogs also add point-scoring diving transfer Laura Ryan from Indiana.

Schmitt will be looking for her fourth NCAA triumph in the 500 free as well as her third victory in the 200.

In 2011, she also anchored Georgia to wins in the 400 and 800 freestyle relays and will likely push her team to some major points in those same four events.

Georgia has 10 returning point scorers from its 2012 team, including a trio of big guns in Melanie Margalis, Amber McDermott and Megan Romano. Romano was spectacular last year with stunning relay splits as well as a victory in the 200 free and a pair of runner-up efforts in the 100 back and 100 free.

Kelsey Gaid, Jessica Graber, Lauren Harrington, Madeline Locus, Jordan Mattern and Megan Molnar are also back.

3. STANFORD CARDINAL

After a fourth-place finish a year ago, Stanford should move up a spot, as it returns a bulky 191 points from its 318 in 2012. The losses of Betsy Webb and Sam Woodward—both key members of the victorious 200 and 400 freestyle relays—will hurt the Cardinal, but first-year coach Greg Meehan has the talent for a topthree finish.

Leading the way for Stanford will be junior Maya Dirado, senior Andie Murez and sophomore Maddy Schaefer, who scored nearly all of its returning points. Meanwhile, emotional leader Felicia Lee is bouncing back nicely from shoulder surgery in the fall and should match or exceed her 18-point effort from 2012.

Point scorers Sara Giberson, Katie Olsen, Stephanie Phipps and Andie Taylor also return. And freshman Sarah Haase should make some noise in the breaststroke events.

( bottom )

It never hurts to have a pair of Olympians on your team, and that’s exactly what the Aggies have in stars Breeja Larson and Cammile Adams.

Larson, the American record holder in both the 100 and 200 yard breast, claimed an Olympic gold medal in London as a prelim swimmer on the USA’s triumphant 400 medley relay.

She’s also the returning NCAA champ in the 100 breast. Adams, meanwhile, picked up second in the 200 fly at NCAAs a year ago.

March 2013

2/22/13 2:37 PM

While Larson and Adams share the spotlight for Texas A&M, Caroline McElhany and Paige Miller, who both accounted for more than 30 points last year, will also contribute to the team’s success, as will Erica Dittmer and Maureen McLaine. Meanwhile, sophomore Sarah Henry seems to have shaken off her multiple knee injuries after joining the squad as a Swimming World six-star recruit as a freshman.

5. TENNESSEE LADY VOLUNTEERS

Even though head coach Matt Kredich has had to double his workload after being asked to take over a newly merged men’s and women’s swimming and diving program, the Lady Volunteers certainly haven’t shown any signs of slowing down the dramatic trajectory that pushed them into a seventhplace tie a year ago.

UT returns 186 points of the 249 it scored in 2012. Although the Lady Vols lost backstroke/butterfly star Jenny Connolly to graduation, a core group of seven returning point scorers makes up the bulk of the Big Orange attack this year. All-around star Kelsey Floyd is in her senior year after scoring 64 points in 2012, while junior Lindsay Gendron and senior Caroline Simmons both return after scoring more than 30 points each last year. Molly Hannis (breast/IM) and Kate McNeillis (back/free) round out the returning swimmers who scored points a year ago, while divers

platform last year—and springboard specialist Jodie McGroarty are back in the fold.

Tennessee also welcomes one of the top sprint freestyle recruits in the nation in Faith Johnson from North Carolina.

6. ARIZONA WILDCATS

While the Wildcats are still easily a top-10 team, the massive amount of transfers both in and out of the program are likely to push Arizona out of the top five. Arizona lost point scorers Sarah Denninghoff and Aubrey Peacock, who transferred to Texas and Auburn, respectively, but welcomed Deborah Roth from California. U of A will still be strong, led by sprint star Margo Geer, who finished in the top three in the 50 and 100 free a year ago.

7. USC TROJANS

Coach Dave Salo certainly has a talented squad at USC, returning Olympic silver medalist Haley Anderson—not to mention eight other point scorers, including Kasey Carlson, Stina Gardell, Meghan Hawthorne, Lynette Lim, Lindsay Parrish, Jessicah Schmitt, Christel Simms and Yumi So. USC also finally gets the services of Duke diving transfer Haley Ishimatsu, who battled injuries last year. Freshman Jasmine Tosky will also almost certainly score some big points after a sterling prep career.

8. AUBURN TIGERS pictured > margo geer , arizona

Auburn might have a large nucleus of nine returning point scorers, but the loss of sprint superstar Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace will definitely hurt. Last year, she scored 80 points, including a victory in the 100 free as well as epic legs on four pointscoring relays. Olivia Scott, runner-up in the 100 fly a year ago, will lead the rest of the Tigers at this year’s championships.

9. TEXAS LONGHORNS

First-year coach Carol Capitani welcomes transfer Sarah Denninghoff from Arizona, who

March.indd 14

finished fourth in both the 100 and 200 back last year. But Texas will certainly miss Karlee Bispo, who graduated after scoring 73 points in 2012. Fortunately for the Longhorns, the bulk of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relays returns, and Laura Sogar will challenge instate rival Breeja Larson as the top breaststroker at NCAAs.

10. FLORIDA GATORS

The 2010 NCAA champions have had a rough time replicating the magic of their title run in 2010, falling to 10th a year ago. The Gators are looking at another likely 10thplace finish. However, any team with the likes of Olympic silver medalist Elizabeth Beisel can be counted on for fireworks this March. Also, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget Canadian Olympian Sinead Russell, who could challenge for backstroke titles.

OTHERS TO WATCH

While Indiana has definitely fallen off the top-10 radar, the Hoosiers can always count on diving for major points at NCAAs. Olympian Lauren Perdue could help Virginia crack the top 10, while UCLA and Minnesota could make a run among the elite teams as well. v

onsidering California is among the states that have the most earthquakes in the U.S., maybe it’s fitting that the University of California is rocking the collegiate swimming world. The Golden Bears have won back-to-back NCAA men’s championships after Coach Dave Durden’s program fell

just a few points shy of capturing the 2010 crown.

Durden has clearly elevated the expectations and performances in Berkeley, so much so that championship aspirations are the norm—especially this season. With 59 percent of its scoring returning from last year’s squad—a group headlined

by Tom Shields—Cal appears poised to become the first school since Auburn (2003-07) to reel off at least a trifecta of titles among the men.

1. CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS

The quest for a third straight championship will undoubtedly be keyed by Tom Shields, the senior short-course stud who is coming off individual NCAA crowns in the 100 back and 100 fly, along with a second-place showing in the 200 fly. He could very well close out his NCAA career with a sweep of his individual events—only teammate Will Hamilton, now a sophomore, kept him from accomplishing the feat a year ago.

Shields heads into this year’s NCAAs with increased experience on the global stage. He took the fall semester off to compete in the World Cup and World Short Course Championships, where he finished second in the 100 fly and third in the 50 fly.

“For him, it was a matter of racing some of the best in the world, and you get to do that on the World Cup circuit,” Durden said of Shields. “The great thing about (those eight meets) is they have short breaks between each of them. You get to race a lot— there’s a lot of value in that.”

Of the 535.5 points Cal scored last season, the Bears return 318.75.

Marcin Tarczynski, a native of Poland, is the reigning champion in the 200 IM and scored in both backstroke events, while Hamilton, besides his 200 fly victory, tallied points in the 200 and 500 free. Trevor Hoyt was a finalist in the 100 and 200 breast.

Other individual scorers who are returning include Shayne Fleming, Christian Higgins, Ben Hinshaw, Adam

Hinshaw and Seth Stubblefield.

Freshmen Jacob Pebley (back) and Josh Prenot (distance free/400 IM) should also score points.

2. STANFORD CARDINAL

Stanford hasn’t won NCAAs since 1998 despite having several teams that were in the hunt. It doesn’t appear as if this group has the power to hang with Cal, but Stanford definitely has an opportunity to move up from last year’s third-place finish.

The Cardinal return 277.5 points, a sizable portion of the 426.5 they totaled in 2012.

The presence of David Nolan is a huge boost for Stanford. In his first collegiate campaign, he was the runner-up in both backstrokes and placed third in the 200 IM. Without question, he has the ability to prevail in any of his three events. He’s joined as an up-front performer by sprinter Aaron Wayne, who was fourth last year in both the 50 and 100 free.

A major boost will come from diver Kristian Ipsen, a 2012 Olympic bronze medalist in the threemeter synchronized competition, who netted 44 points over three events last year. Teammate Drew Cosgarea also scored in three events: 500/1650 free and 400 IM. Meanwhile, Matt Thompson (200 back/400 IM) and Matthew Swanston (back) were double-event scorers.

Gray Umbach, one of the top recruits in the country, has the potential to score in the 100 fly and 200 IM. — continued on 18

3. MICHIGAN WOLVERINES

Don’t be surprised if Coach Mike Bottom’s squad finishes as high as No. 2, given the fact that Michigan returns 213.5 of 271 points and loses only the contributions of Dan Madwed from a fifth-place team.

Connor Jaeger, a 2012 Olympian in the 1500, is a major threat to prevail in the 500 and 1650 this year. He was third last year in the mile, and is joined in the distance contingent by Sean Ryan (26 points last year) and Ryan Feeley. Kyle Whitaker, who was the 2012 silver medalist in the 400 IM and also scored in the 200 IM, is a threat to take the longer medley.

Sean Fletcher is a standout in butterfly, and Miguel Ortiz and Bruno Ortiz bolster several events, including the sprints, backstroke and fly. Expect steady performances, too, from Michael Wynalda (free) and John Wojciechowski (fly).

Zach Turk, a transfer from Kenyon College, will be a top sprinter.

Hassaan Abdel Khalik returns to distance freestyle, Richard Funk can score in breaststroke, and Dylan Bosch can contribute in fly and IM.

4. TEXAS LONGHORNS

dax hill , ( bottom )

Although not as stacked as in past years, Texas still has a solid team.

Coach Eddie Reese’s squad was hit hard by its losses from a year ago—especially in diving—but the Longhorns still return 214.5 of the 491 points they scored en route to finishing second.

At the top of the lineup sits Dax Hill, the reigning NCAA champ in the 200 free, who should also score in the 100. Hill and Clay Youngquist (fifth in the 200) will be significant factors in relay duty as well.

Cole Cragin and Kip Darmody both tallied points in each backstroke event last year, while Austin Surhoff— the 200 IM champ in 2010—scored in the 200 back and both IMs. Michael McBroom is another former NCAA champion, having won the 1650 in 2011. He’s looking to return to the top of the podium this year. Texas will also look to Charlie Moore, John Murray, Kerrington Hill

and Ben Anderson to add to the team’s scoring.

With 215.5 of 396 points returning from last year’s fourth-place team, Arizona has a solid base for 2013.

One of those returnees is Kevin Cordes, who has to be considered the favorite in both breaststroke events, given the way he has moved up the global rankings and demonstrated incredible short-course skill.

Giles Smith was the runner-up in the 100 fly in 2012 and also looms as a huge factor in the 100 free and on relays. Carl Mickelson, fourth in both breaststrokes, is back, while Woody Joye, a transfer from Texas last year, adds depth in butterfly and is a likely scorer in the 200 IM. Mitchell Friedemann has been an individual scorer in the 100 back, while Matt Barber tallied points in the 500. Also helping the cause for the Wildcats will be Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or returning from a redshirt season. Bar-Or, who scored in three previous NCAAs, will add an immediate spark to the freestyle events.

6. USC TROJANS

The Trojans, who return 178 of the 192 points scored by last year’s seventh-place team, will seek to crack the top five this year. Without question, the lightning on the roster is sprint sensation Vlad Morozov, who roared at the recent World Short Course Championships, capturing gold medals in the 50 and 100 free.

Dimitri Colupaev was second in the 200 free at last year’s NCAAs and is likely to score again in the 100 in 2013, while Alex Lendrum (back/IM) looks to be a multi-event contributor.

A key for the Trojans will be Cristian Quintero’s ability to continue the success he had as a freshman, when he was second in the 500 and ninth in both the 200 free and 1650.

Chad Bobrosky is a returning scorer in the 500, and Chase Bloch will be important in medley relay duty. Look for freshman Maclin Davis to score in the 100 fly.

7. AUBURN TIGERS

The ultimate goal for Auburn is to return to its glory days when it won six of seven NCAA men’s titles between 2003 and 2009. For now, though, finishing in the top five is a realistic focus. The Tigers bring back 179 of the 254.5 points they scored while finishing sixth last year. There are seven returning scorers, paced by Brazilian Marcelo Chierighini, second in the 100 free and 15th in the 50.

Zane Grothe scored in all three distance free events, and James Disney-May is another reliable freestyler. The Tigers will also count on contributions from Kyle Owens (back/IM) and Stuart Ferguson (breast).

8. FLORIDA GATORS

Florida will push for another top10 showing, returning 139.5 of last year’s 157 points. Marcin Cieslak, second in the 200 IM and third in both butterfly events, supplied a considerable portion of those points.

He’ll be joined as a multi-event scorer by sprinter Brad DeBorde.

South African Sebastien Rousseau returns from a redshirt season and is a scoring threat in a number of events, while freshman Arthur Frayler is an elite distance freestyler with scoring potential in the 500 and 1650.

Georgia finished 11th last year, but with 89.5 of 106.5 points returning, the potential to return to the top 10 is realistic. It also helps that the Bulldogs boast one of the top freshmen in the country in Chase Kalisz. Considered a possible future star for the U.S., Kalisz will be a major presence in the IMs and 200 breast.

Georgia also features a strong distance corps headed by Martin Grodzki, the reigning NCAA champ in the 500 and 1650, and bolstered by Andrew Gemmell and Will Freeman.

Nicolas Fink is a returning scorer in the 200 breast, and freshman Matt Ellis brings an immediate punch to the sprints.

After last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12th-place finish, moving back into the top 10 appears to be a realistic goal for the Buckeyes, who return 68 of 106 points. OSU is paced by Jason Schnur, who was third in the 50 free a year ago and also scored in the 100. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be aided by the return of redshirt Tim Phillips, who is among the top butterfly performers in the nation.

Diver Christian Holstein can also score points.

A new collegiate swimming season brings renewed hope for success.

However, last year’s champions from NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA and NJCAA will be ready to build on their past performances.

NCAA DIVISION II March 6-9 Crossplex Complex Birmingham, Ala.

Last year’s NCAA Division II Championships was a meet of firsts, as Wayne State ended a Drury win streak in the women’s team race and several schools celebrated firsttime event winners. But the 2013 championships will be a meet of lasts, as Grand Canyon University and University of the Incarnate Word will compete for the final time as Division II schools before making the fouryear transition to Division I. Both schools could make major 22

statements in their farewell seasons.

Grand Canyon’s men will contend for a team title on the strength of Eetu Karvonen—who won both breaststrokes last year—and their relay depth. Grand Canyon’s women will look to improve upon their fourth-place showing of a year ago—only four points out of third.

Senior Mychala Lynch, who became GCU’s first-ever swimming national champion with her 2012 win in the 100 yard fly, will be a strong leader.

Incarnate Word’s men will be looking for a top-three finish after missing last year by one point.

Thiago Parravicini will be their top point scorer and could double in

the breaststroke events. He lowered the NCAA record in the 200 with a 1:54.67 in December, but will likely face stiff competition from Karvonen and UC San Diego’s Nick Korth in the final. Andrii Nikishenko, new to the team this year, will be a major player in the backstroke events. The women will be looking for a top-10 finish after falling off last year, but that should be likely with Tamiris Nascimento leading the charge.

Nascimento broke the NCAA record in the 100 free with a 49.24 in December, and is a strong favorite for her first individual title.

Of course, Drury University and UC San Diego will also be strong title contenders. Drury has been a championship mainstay for nearly two decades, but last year, Drury’s women suffered a dramatic one-point upset by Wayne State.

Drury should dominate the men’s competition, but it’ll be more challenging on the women’s side.

The Panthers will need to replace distance swimmer, Erin Dolan, who won two events last year and made the championship final in two others.

Deanna Sorenson and Allie Reynolds will be looked to for crucial points in distance races, while Wai Ting Yu is

A new dynasty appears to be on the rise in Division III swimming, with the Denison University men’s team poised to win its third consecutive title.

The Big Red ended Kenyon’s 31-year streak in 2011 and shows no signs of letting up in 2013. Junior Al Weik is favored to repeat as champion in the 500 and 1650 freestyles, with Quinn Bartlett set to lead a strong backstroke contingent a year after Denison put five swimmers in the top 16 in the 100 and 200 back.

Kenyon will continue to rebuild its legacy in the post-Jim Steen era,

and will look to its depth to recover from the loss of Zachary Turk, who is now representing the University of Michigan. Turk has the fastest split of any swimmer in any collegiate division in a mid-race leg of the 200 free relay with an 18.78.

Emory University’s women’s team appears poised to take its fourth straight title. Junior Sadie Nennig is the only swimmer returning from last year’s squad to win an individual title (200 back), but the Eagles hope to score big points again in the relays, having won three of the five events last year. Senior Anna Dobben was second in the 100 back in 2012 and will vie with Hamilton College senior Maggie Rosenbaum for the title this year.

With the top four finishers in the 2012 championship final of the men’s and women’s 100 breaststroke out this year due to graduation, Staten Island junior Andrey Tarasov and Stevens Institute sophomore Brittany Geyer are the respective top returners in that event.

The loss of Williams College’s Logan Todhunter to graduation will leave a gaping hole in the 100 and 200 fly as well as the 200 IM— events she won in 2012. In her place, Kenyon’s Hannah Saiz will be the one to watch in the butterfly races, and Nennig could succeed Todhunter as the new queen of the 200 IM. But Williams College will still be a factor in the meet, with senior Caroline Wilson returning as reigning champion in the 500 free and 400 IM and sophomore Sarah Thompson looking to repeat as 200 free titlist.

However, Todhunter’s absence will affect the relays as well as the team’s chances to repeat as the national runner-up.

the top returning point scorer and a crucial leg on every relay.

The Drury men will have senior Vladimir Sidorkin for relay duty and points in the sprint freestyles.

With superstar Andrey Seryy having completed his eligibility, Sidorkin could move up to the top of the podium in the sprint events.

Last year, Amanda Thomas continued to give relatively unknown Southern Connecticut exposure at NCAAs, winning both IM events and placing in the top five in the 200 fly and 200 back. She still appears to be the fastest IMer and could be a title contender again in the 200 back. She finished third in that event in 2012 by about a second behind Ana Azambuja, who was a surprise winner. With the graduation of 200 fly champ, Jaclyn Hynson, Thomas also looks to be the woman to beat in the 200 fly and possibly take down Hynson’s year-old NCAA record.

Other top swimmers to watch in Division II include UC San Diego’s Nick Korth, who posted fast inseason times in the breaststroke events this year; Marko Blazevski of Wingate, who will capitalize on his Olympic appearance for Macedonia and attempt to repeat as 400 IM champion; and Florida Southern’s Jeb Halfacre, who will be looking to win the 200 back for the fourth time.

Pacific moving to NCAA Division II after the women won their first national team title in 2012 and the men finished second. The Sunbirds must complete a four-year transition before being allowed to compete at the Division II championship.

Oklahoma Baptist’s swim teams, currently in their second season of existence, could reap the benefits of Fresno Pacific’s exit, having placed second last year in the women’s race.

The Bison won the men’s race by five points over Fresno Pacific in 2012, and could have a better cushion this year, as Concordia University placed a distant third in the men’s race, 177.5 points back.

Led by legendary coach Sam Freas, the team returns a number of national champions: Daniel Marsden (200 breast), Max Abreu (200 fly), Nick Shuttinger (100 fly) and Nicole Wilson (500 free, 400 IM). The men’s strengths lie in the sprint freestyle, where the Bison put five swimmers in the top 16 last year. The team will

deal with a major loss in the passing of Ivan Maciuniak, who drowned at the team’s pool last March.

Other swimmers to watch this season include senior Alex Graudins of the Savannah College of Art and Design, who won the 200, 500 and 1650 freestyles in 2012; sophomore Catherine Duquet of Savannah, who swept the breaststroke events with new division records and could challenge for a national title in the 50 free after finishing third last year; and sophomore Charlotte Parent of Cumberlands, who could repeat as 200 fly champion and unseat Biola sophomore Christine Tixier as the 100 fly winner.

NJCAA March 6-9 Erie Community College Buffalo, N.Y. Few things are certain in life: death, taxes and another win for the Indian River State College swim teams at the national championships.

This year, the Pioneer men are nearly assured of a 39th consecutive team title, while the women should pick up their 32nd straight win.

The two streaks would extend the school’s distinction of having the longest unbroken championship run of any collegiate sport in the United States. Last year, the men and women won by a combined 1,070 points, further showing the school’s dominance at the

junior college level.

Bradley Tandy, the reigning NJCAA Male Swimmer of the Year, will do much to help the men in their championship title quest. The sophomore will look to improve on a remarkable 2012 meet, where he set an amazing record in the 50 free with a stunning 19.06 leading off the 200 free relay. Tandy also won the 100 free in 43.12, which would have placed in the top 10 at the NCAA Division I level.

The Indian River women will move on from the losses of NJCAA Female Swimmer of the Year, Tryshia Centeno, who transferred to Auburn, and Natalie Lenderman, now swimming at Western Kentucky. Fortunately, the Pioneers still have reigning national champions Solyvette Lizardi (100 and 200 fly), Courtney Parenti (500 free) and Hallie Petersohn (1650 free).

If any team can slow down or stop Indian River’s road to another championship trophy, it’s Daytona State. The Falcons were the last team to win a women’s NJCAA title before the program was cut in 1986.

Now, the squad is back in full force, with four swimmers having claimed individual titles in 2012. Only two of those titlists return for a chance to repeat in 2013. Sophie Drake won the 200 free and could step up and claim the 100 free in the absence of graduated teammate Ashly Isaacson.

And Takashi Worrell, the winner of the 1650, could make it a distance sweep this year if he can take the 500 after finishing second last year.

Unfortunately, news out of Daytona State has this being the squad’s final year, as the team is being cut due to budget issues.

The two swimmers who won NJCAA titles and aren’t from Indian River or Daytona State return this season to defend their titles. Anna Macht of Darton College is likely to repeat as 400 IM champion and could also capture the 200 IM title with the departure of Centeno. And Alberto Catano of Suffolk County Community College, the only swimmer under 1:50 in the 200 back last season, could dominate again in that event. v

Harrison Jones, now diving for Arizona State, is stepping up his game in order to perform his best for his final collegiate championship

A

later this month at NCAAs.

year off was all Harrison Jones needed.

After three seasons diving for the University of Southern California, Jones was cut off from the sport the summer after the 2011 NCAA Championships, then decided to take a leave of absence, and spent four months traveling around China.

After dealing with family issues and a one-year suspension from USA Diving for testing positive for marijuana (his second positive test for the substance), Jones needed time for himself away from the diving well.

“I just needed to get away for a bit,” he said. “Reset.”

Jones was set to return for his final collegiate season as a transfer to California-Berkeley, but in July 2012, barely a month before classes were to begin, he was informed that his full-ride diving scholarship had been given to a swimmer. “It became a mad dash to try and find somewhere (to go to school).”

Jones called a number of schools, eventually landing a scholarship at Arizona State to train with 1988 U.S.

Olympian and head diving coach Mark Bradshaw. The timing couldn’t have been closer: Jones was accepted to ASU one day before fall classes started. “(It) worked out great. (Bradshaw) was totally up for it—he was excited, and I was excited,” Jones said.

The pair has plenty of reasons to be excited. Through the bulk of the regular season, Jones remained undefeated in both dual and invitational competitions. In December, Jones was awarded the Pac-12 Diver of the Month for his first-place finishes on the one- and three-meter springboards at the Arizona Wildcat Invitational in Tucson. Jones even topped Stanford’s Kristian Ipsen, the three-meter synchronized diving bronze medalist at the London Olympics.

“He’ll be my biggest competition at Pac-12s and NCAAs”—a competitor Jones feels confident facing, thanks to his newfound determination and commitment. “I’m actually excited about NCAAs because I’ve been training more than I have for previous ones. Before, it was always: train hard a couple weeks before the meet. Now I’m training and devoted, and I’m ready to go.”

“When (Jones) came in, I knew his talent level, but it was going to be a test of his motivation,” Bradshaw said. “The guy comes to work every day prepared. He trains hard with a great attitude. He’s a great teammate, and those are the biggest things in my book.”

Jones started with swimming and gymnastics, and his athleticism translated to natural talent in diving. A Texas diving coach first approached him after watching 10-year-old Jones complete flips off the springboards at a local pool during a friend’s birthday party. Jones rose to his first junior national-level competition less than a year later, and subsequently spent his teen years bouncing around the globe.

He ticks off on his fingers the number of international diving competitions he’s attended: “Amsterdam, Junior Worlds in Brazil, France, China—(the travel) is definitely one of my favorite parts about diving.”

“I recruited him out of high school,” Bradshaw said.

“He was extremely talented, one of the best in the world for his age group.”

With so much talent, Jones found he could compete at a high level without committing 100 percent. “I used to cut out a lot at USC,” he said, yet he still managed to semifinal at NCAAs each of his three years with the Trojans.

“But now (at ASU), I’ve been going to every practice and putting forth all of the effort I can.”

That will make for a dangerous combination at the NCAA Championships. Jones isn’t shy about his personal expectations for the meet, either.

“I would like to be top three in each event (one- and three-meter springboard, 10-meter platform), and if I could win something, that would be even better.”

“He knows what it’s all about—he gets it,” Bradshaw said. “It’s not something you can really coach. He’s just a true believer in his abilities.” v March 2013

Are You Using Chief Judges at Your Local Meets? by steve lottes

Chief judges not only enhance the professional manner with which we serve our athletes and the coaches at sectional and national meets, but are also invaluable at local meets.

Have you ever been the only deck referee at a local mini-meet trying to process 50 or more disqualifications in one session?

Despite your best intentions to be completely calm and focused, it can get chaotic. Now reflect on the same session with two experienced chief judges, coordinated radio protocol, accurately written DQ slips, swimmers notified of the disqualifications and quality mentorship of deck officials. Chief judges can make it happen.

The chief judge can assist the meet referee with the officials meeting by presenting the briefing, completing deck assignments, discussing rules and jurisdiction and by reviewing radio protocol and how DQ slips are completed. Deck referees can provide support as needed on interpretation of the rules or deck protocol.

Radio protocol is probably the most important skill that a chief judge needs to master. Effective communication is vital to a smooth running session. Radio protocol should be rehearsed between the chief judges and deck referee prior to the session.

It’s important to take time when responding to an official who may have a possible disqualification. With experience, radio protocol becomes more routine and efficient.

Chief judges are instrumental in helping a new official become a highly qualified stroke-and-turn judge who enjoys the opportunity to be on deck and to serve as part of the team. When the chief judge demonstrates that officiating is not only rewarding, but purposeful, there is a greater chance that officials will want to come back for an even richer experience that builds character and contributes to our professionalism as officials. v

NCAAs is a fantastic meet. Undoubtedly, there will always be many people swimming blisteringly fast, and you can be one of them. Take charge of what you’re consuming at the championship meets, and you will likely see a dramatic difference.

s a high school swimmer, I dreamed of competing in the NCAA Championships.

Every year, I recorded the event on TV and intently watched to see what the college elite was capable of in the pool.

Anthony Ervin looked like a sprinting god, while the Texas crew was putting some serious hurt on all other teams during my years of high school. I knew I could get there and, hopefully, I, too, could be one of the best.

As always, I made lists of things I needed to do in order to inch closer to attaining my goals.

First, I needed to decide upon a college to attend: Texas. Once I got there, I was surrounded by a team that I could never have imagined possible. At that time—the fall of 2003—we had six U.S. Olympians training at Texas.

Methodically, I watched what each one did and tried to figure out how I could be as good as them—and that applied to nutrition, too.

My freshman year at Texas, a week before NCAAs, Brendan Hansen gave us all a list of things to think about packing on our trip to the men’s NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships. Along with extra goggles, earplugs, a towel, gloves and a book, he added “snacks.”

Ever since I was a freshman in high school, my mom, Diane, had been packing snacks for me to take to swim meets, and it made an enormous difference in my performance. When I first got to college, I didn’t pack my own snacks. But before leaving for the NCAAs, I sure did.

For those of you who have not been to NCAAs, in my opinion—and that of many former teammates and Olympians—this is the hardest meet in the world. Events are stacked back to back, the sessions run fast, the meet is intense, loud and, at times, nerve-racking. Several times during my four years at that meet, I swam 14 races in three days—yeah, that’ll whip you!

routine. They get up and do a wakeup swim, head back for breakfast and rest until the prelims start. Some teams don’t do wakeup swims, but time and time again, they prove to be beneficial.

At NCAAs, you only get one shot, and that’s in the prelims. If you don’t perform in the morning, you’re not coming back for a second swim—it’s that fast of a meet.

I always ate at least a banana and a granola bar before going over for my wakeup swim, along with some water or an exercise drink. It’s critical to get your body going not only from a muscular standpoint, but also from an emotional and internal standpoint.

After returning from the pool, it was time for breakfast.

Generally, you want to eat your larger meal with at least — continued on 28

NUTRITION Nutrition at a meet such as this is about as critical as sleeping. And, yes, you’d better get a lot of that, too.

Prelims for the Division I men’s meet started at noon, with the women’s meet starting at 11 a.m. Most teams— in fact, the best teams—pretty much all do the same March 2013

two hours before the session starts. It’s important to process this food—and get nourishment from it—before the racing begins. You can always bring small snacks with you (see “AthleticFoodie,” SW Feb) to eat closer to your race.

After my races, I always do two things: 1) eat something high in simple sugars in order to replace glycogen (the main energy system we deplete when racing), and 2) drink a protein shake in order to help rebuild—and restore—broken-down muscles.

Fresh or dried fruits are great sources of simple sugars.

My favorite to eat at meets is dried mango. Sometimes, I will also have part of a granola bar or sandwich to give me a bit more substance, but be careful not to eat too much if you have another race coming up. Generally, if I have another race, I’ll continue to drink an energy sports drink and have some simple sugars along the way as well, saving the protein drink for the end of the session.

Many college programs provide protein shakes for their athletes. If you are buying your own, always check with your trainer, NCAA staff or medical staff to make sure there are not any banned substances on the label.

HYDRATION Hydration is important, too. Try to keep a bottle nearby

March.indd 28

so you’re not getting thirsty. I often drink some sort of electrolyte drink (there are many on the market) in order to help me replenish more thoroughly. I’ve even heard of some athletes drinking Pedialyte during meets and seeing a huge difference. Keep a level of hydration that maintains a little color in your urine. Overhydrating (completely clear urine) can be just as detrimental as dehydration, and can rob you of power in your races. v Olympic gold medalist Garrett Weber-Gale and his family founded AthleticFoodie in 2008 on the belief that delicious food can be healthy, too. The company’s mission is to show athletes— particularly swimmers— how tasty, healthy food and fitness can easily become an important part of everyone’s daily routine.

very swimmer wants to race faster. We swim, swim and SWIM. But is there something else we can be doing that can give us more speed and enable us to race faster? YES! Creating speed out of the water has been a training tool for swimmers for decades. Hours spent on land—training to become faster in the pool—has been a training modality for young age groupers to high schoolers to Olympians.

As we age, it becomes more difficult to get faster or even maintain swim speed. But by adding dryland training—and doing swim-specific exercises that can mimic race specific movements—we can add race speed.

Begin this dryland training program with race speed intention. Start easy—with little resistance—and progress the resistance over time. Begin performing each exercise

You hear it all the time: the key to success in all relationships is communication! Whether you are communicating with your swimmers or your own body, the words we use do the communicating. Think about it: do you really mean to think about and say a concept the way you are? Are the words you are using moving you forward or keeping you stuck in a rut? Following are some tricky words frequently used by swimmers and coaches that your body might be hearing out of alignment. Let me present these confounders in a different way to send you gliding blissfully through the water.

ROTATION: The dirty eight-letter word that I don’t allow in my pool!

Webster’s Dictionary meaning: a circular movement around a center (or point) of rotation.

can send your exhale out into the pool with the gush of water, and then listen for the sound of your constant exhale. Exhale, Exhale, Exhale! “Breathe” will take care of itself.

The only body parts doing that “rotation” movement in swimming are the ball joints at the beginning of your arms and legs. In proper alignment, your ball joints can do a full 360—Nathan Adrian is a fine example of that!

Unfortunately, “rotation” is often used to describe what your core is doing. This couldn’t be further from the truth!

Your core is doing a seesaw at best: weight shift left, weight shift right, top half twisting away from bottom half. Webster’s definition of twist is: “turning something so that it moves in relation to something that remains stationary.”

Bingo! It’s no surprise that TWIST is frequently used in the definition of torque. While swimming, twist from the middle of your core, directly below your sternum. Twist the top half away from the bottom half, and you will feel that torque. “Rotate” your core, and you will submerge far deeper into water than you want to be, creating drag— and you will have to dig yourself out of that depth.

DRILL: “A drill done 99 percent right is 100 percent wrong.”

Webster’s Dictionary meaning: an activity done as an exercise or practice.

BREATHE: Misused and Overused Webster’s Dictionary meaning: To draw air into and expel it from the lungs.

The focus should always be on the expel portion of breathing. The human body’s most automatic function is to inhale. What it doesn’t do to its fullest extent is to expel. The word that I think should be overused constantly from swimmers and coaches alike is exhale!

Never stop saying it out loud and in your head. It is the function your body needs the most help with and the most reminders to do!

I constantly hear coaches and swimmers say, “Don’t forget to breathe.” This is all but automatic. But to exhale all of the carbon dioxide you are collecting during this vigorous swimming is not so automatic.

Give yourself some interactive cues: watch how far you

Drill is not “Swim”! A drill is to train your stubborn, slow-to-relearn-and-reconfigure nerve endings—your synapses, if you will. Drills are the most important part of any practice. They can set the tone for how you swim for the next hour or so. Drill a drill and swim a swim, but never ever swim a drill. Be curious about how and why you are being asked to do something so you can get it right and relearn and reconfigure daily!

I recently heard an interview about an Iraqi war veteran who had two new arms grafted. The article reported that nerves regenerate at a rate of one inch per month. This means that if you are trying to reconfigure a bunch of nerves in your arms, legs or core to habituate differently (aka muscle memory), you will need to give them time.

Your nerves are the lines of communication for a process to move from thought to action. Listen to all the little bits and pieces of any drill and try to succeed at every single one of them—every single time you do them.

Do not watch the clock during a drill. Relax and meditate, and you will find all kinds of fun new nerve pathways to travel on in your beautiful body.

About that soldier, Brendan Marrocco—who is “going to drill six hours a day” to make his transplanted arms work by doing the drills and gaining new nerve endings—he was quoted as saying, ”I’m looking forward to swimming and driving.” Wow, can I be his drill sergeant and teach him to swim?

Be a Brendan, everyone! v Hermine Terhorst is a coach at Santa Rosa (Calif.) Masters Flower Power and a long-time Pilates trainer.

Q&A

Coach Bob Kizer Head Coach New Trier Swim Club Winnetka, Illinois

BOB KIZER

Now in his seventh year as New Trier Swim Club, head coach Bob Kizer capped a phenomenal short course season that saw his boys finish first and girls fifth at the 2012 NCSA meet. by michael j . stott photos provided by bob kizer

Q. Swimming World: Did your time as a swimmer play a role in your decision to coach?

A. Coach Bob Kizer: No, but my experience with coaches John Mason, John Weick and Denny Hill definitely influenced me as a coach. I had a desire to work with young people on a daily basis, and swimming became my vehicle.

SW: Did you ever aspire to duplicate your brother’s 200 free state championship?

BK: Swimmer self-confidence was not my strong suit, so I never believed I could reach that level. My brother, Jim, was a special athlete.

He was rarely the most talented, but often the most successful because he had an unbelievable work ethic.

SW: Did your distance freestyle success influence your ability to coach a phenom such as Reed Malone?

BK: Coaching a swimmer like Reed has more to do with understanding the mind of a swimmer and being able to tap into his motivating factors.

SW: Are you as intense a coach as you were a swimmer?

BK: I have evolved as a coach. I used to be a screamer, but I have relaxed more with experience and age.

Several years ago, my goal became to put away “Angry Bob” and be relaxed and positive on deck. Now, I express my high expectations in a much more positive way.

SW: Nationally competitive NTSC trains swimmers ages 6 through college. How are you viewed locally?

BK: As a highly successful, very welcoming, fun place to join a team.

And an organization that requires one’s best at all times, regardless of age or ability.

SW: How is not-for-profit NTSC different from a for-profit operation?

BK: The differences are off the pool deck. We would not operate the in-water part of our business any differently regardless of how we were organized as a business. We operate with a board of directors supporting our coaches who direct the program.

SW: NTSC is a consistently top-five team in Illinois. What does it take to be a consistent top two or three?

BK: Success starts with a belief that it can and will happen, followed by a commitment to do what is necessary to be successful. At NTSC, we don’t define success by meet place finish, but by the growth and experience of our swimmers.

SW: How important is the Hour of Power to the NTSC community?

An All-American at Ann Arbor Pioneer High School (Mich.) and at Allegheny College (B.A., speech communications, ’84), Coach Bob Kizer had five swimmers qualify for the 2012 Olympic Trials. He also placed two athletes on the 2012 USA Junior Pan Pac squad, one on the 2011 USA Junior World Championship team and several on past USA Swimming junior national teams. His USA Swimming honors include being named to the 2012 USA Junior Pan Pacs, the 2011 National Select Camp and 2011 NCSA national team coaching staffs.

He has served Illinois Swimming in similar capacities. Kizer is on the USA Swimming Safe Sport Committee and is the Illinois Swimming Administration vicechair and rules and regulations chair.

BK: The Hour of Power Relay is a unique event for NTSC. It honors former New Trier swimmer and coach, Ted Mullin, who passed away in the fall of 2006 from sarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer. Funds raised through this event support research at the University of Chicago into the causes and treatment of sarcoma in young people. In 2011, the number of participating teams exploded to 160 on two continents, including 107 college and university programs, 46 high school and club teams and seven students-abroad teams. In its first six years, the Hour of Power has raised more than $330,000.

Our head age group coach, Rick Peterson, was very close to Ted and leads our efforts in the Hour of Power. Through Rick’s leadership, our swimmers truly get a chance to give back with no expectation of receiving anything themselves. They learn the importance of working together to achieve something — continued on 34 March 2013

greater than themselves. Rick has done an amazing job of motivating our swimmers and volunteers to make the Hour of Power one of the highlights of every year.

SW: What is the role/relationship of NTSC with that of NTHS? BK: NTSC rents the majority of our facilities from NTHS. We work very closely with the high school coaches to give the best opportunities to all our swimmers.

SW: What percentage of New Trier High School swimmers do you coach?

BK: About 50 percent of the high school swimmers are members of NTSC. SW: Do Illinois High School rules allow you to coach them at all during the high school season?

BK: Swimmers are not allowed to participate with their club at all during the high school season.

SW: How do you and NTHS coach Mark Onstott handle the training of the same club and high school swimmers?

SW: Mark and I—as well as Mac Guy (girls HS coach)—meet weekly to make sure we are on top of all our swimmers’ needs. While we are all very different coaches, we respect each other and the programs run by one another. I have adapted some of what I do based on what I know the high school coaches will be doing with the swimmers during the three months of the year when I am not coaching them.

SW: New Trier is synonymous with swimming excellence. Are there expectations to live up to past Olympians such as Fred Schmidt and Dave Lyons?

BK: Not really. Our standard of excellence doesn’t change from year to year.

SW: What does a Kyle Bubolz, Sam Metz or Reed Malone mean to a swim club such as New Trier?

BK: Having swimmers achieve at the highest level of our sport is a great 33

example for all of our swimmers. The first step is believing it is possible.

These examples help others believe in themselves and create excitement about the sport among their teammates and the community.

SW: How much emphasis do you place on weights for dryland versus body weight exercises?

BK: Only our elite group does any weight training at all. All other groups—including other senior age groups—use body weight, med balls and stretch cords for their power work.

SW: How has swim training changed since you were a club swimmer?

BK: I grew up in the time of pounding as much yardage as possible for as long as possible before rest. The science of our sport has changed tremendously since that time, but some basics remain the same. You still have to do the work necessary for success. Learning the proper technique when young and training as best you can as an adolescent still leads to the greatest success.

SW: In the last five years?

BK: Probably the increased emphasis on swimming at race speeds and tempos in daily practice as well as the increased emphasis on underwater swimming. Much of our recent success can be traced to our emphasis on the mental part of swimming. We spend a lot of time with our athletes to understand their own motivations, fears, beliefs and goals. We apply the work we do in these areas to swimming in practice and in competition.

SW: Any favorite distance sets?

BK: Two favorites: • The Fishburn : 5 x 100 @ 1:30 4 x 200 @ 2:30 3 x 300 @ 3:30 2 x 400 @ 4:30 1 x 500 @ 5:30 • 4 x 800 negative-split and descend at an interval to get about 30 seconds rest on #1 . (The first

400 of each 800 must be equal to or faster than the second 400 of the previous 800.) v

HOW THEY TRAIN

reed malone

While much of the publicity surrounding Reed Malone has focused on his high school exploits— three firsts at the 2012 Illinois High School state meet (200 IM, 1:48.37; 200 medley relay, 1:32.25; and 400 free relay, 2:59.76) and a second (500 free, 4:19.38)—the majority of his training has been done with Bob Kizer at the New Trier Swim Club in Winnetka, Ill. At the 2012 NCSA meet (long course finals/short course yards relays), Malone notched two firsts in the 200 and 400 meter free (1:50.97, 3:52.38); two seconds in the 50 and 200 fly (24.92, 2:01.86), sixth in the 100 fly (55.54) and seventh in the 200 IM (2:08.81). He swam on two winning relays (200 yard medley, 21.32 fly, a NAG record; 400 free, 44.67 leadoff)—and one secondplace relay (200 free, 20.78 leadoff).

Malone, a 2012 Olympic Trials qualifier in the 400 free and a 201213 national junior team member in the 200-400 free, is headed to the University of Southern California in the fall.

“Reed has been a part of my training group since he was 13,” says Kizer. “He has always been able to see a bigger picture than today, this season or this year. He sets the long-term goal, and then I set the

plan to achieve it. When he was 13, the goal was to make NCSA Junior Nationals. That progressed to getting an Olympic Trials cut, to making the USA Team for the Junior World Championships and then getting a second swim at Olympic Trials.

“There have always been interim steps, but the focus has remained on the end goal for that year. A challenge has been to raise his practice performance each year.

He has always worked hard, but we continue to challenge him to improve. Examples include getting to morning practice (still an issue some days), using at least a six-beat kick in training and all races, extending his underwaters off every wall in practice and races and managing to keep his training tempos at or near race pace,” says Kizer.

Malone’s training is broken down into three distinct periods: “We use the fall season to focus on speed and power and to introduce any changes in technique,” says Kizer. “A typical week’s volume is 40-to-50,000 yards with work split almost 50/50 between aerobic and anaerobic training. We have one targeted competition at the end. Depending on the exact schedule, we may rest one to two days prior to the meet.

High school season is focused on aerobic training for the first 10 to 12 weeks, with speed work entering toward the end and as part of the state meet (shave) taper. March is a competition month where we concentrate on speed and racing.

“In April, 70 to 80 percent is aerobic training with limited pool time, keeping volume to about 30to-35,000 per week. It increases to as high as 60,000 yards or meters in

our hardest training months of May and June. Volume decreases in July as we look to balance aerobic and anaerobic work. Nationals in August is our taper meet with variations based on the year—Trials, World Champs, etc.,” says Kizer.

Malone’s mid-distance excellence drives an IM training emphasis: “We believe in doing something at race speed every day in practice,” says Kizer. A typical week for Malone includes a two-day concentration on freestyle, two on IM, one on kicking and one on speed/stroke work. “Throughout the fall and long course season, we use a threehigh-intensity-weeks/one-weeklow-intensity cycle. He does three doubles in the water and three drylands per week, lifting for two of the dryland sessions with one in the gym.

In each of the high-intensity weeks, Malone does a best average set. In the first high-intensity period, the set is seven to nine 200s on four minutes. The second three-week phase is five to seven 300s on six minutes. The third phase is four to six 400s on eight minutes.

“We use a heart rate recovery set in our low-intensity weeks of eight 100s on four minutes, giving 70-8090-100-100-90-80-70 percent effort on each one and getting 10-, 30- and 60-second heart rates immediately after each swim. The other test set we use is 16 25s underwater dolphin, all out. In the first high-intensity week, these are on 35 seconds; the second week, they are on 30 seconds; and in the third, they are on 25 seconds,” says the coach. v

The Role of Film in Swim Training:

Mind'eye s

in the

by michael j . stott

In Part II of a two-part article about videoing swimmers,

University of Alabama assistant coach Jonty Skinner shares his perspective based on years with college as well as USA and British national teams.

E

ditor’s Note: In Part I of this two-part article (see SW Feb, online only, pages 30-31), Swimming World Magazine examined some history and basics about videoing swimmers.

Lost in the Crimson Tide’s recent roll to another football national championship is the swim team’s resurgence under head coach Dennis Pursley. On Pursley’s staff is Alabama’s first swimming national champion, Jonty Skinner. A 19-time All-American, Skinner was a Tide head coach before joining Pursley and becoming USA Swimming’s Resident National Team Director of Performance Science and Technology. In Colorado Springs, he coordinated all of the testing, tracking and assessment of U.S. national team members. For the past three years, he worked in a similar capacity with British Swimming.

In each job, Skinner found video invaluable.

“All swimmers are unique and have to develop a technique that works for their body dimensions, balance, buoyancy and natural strength. There are certain core tenets associated with each stroke,” he says, “but a lot of learning shouldn’t be as much about copying, as about what works best and why. You can’t swim like Michael Phelps unless you’re built exactly like Michael Phelps,” he says.

36

“The key to learning is to look at video as a critical thinking exercise.

When teaching freestyle, you might share the core components of the stroke as separate skills. Swimmers should know that legs and hips drive the arms and not the other way around. They should be given guidance on how to manage their shape and balance and understand it is about vaulting over an anchor point.

When swimmers figure out how to get from A to D, they will own that stroke or skill. If spoon-fed every step of the way, they will never OWN or understand what they do,” he says.

A BIG LEARNING CURVE It is that basic understanding that Bob Gillett—coach of Misty Hyman and Cindy Tran—refers to as conceptual modeling. “There is a big learning curve to watching and understanding video. The first step is to teach a conceptual model because if swimmers don’t know what they are looking for, video is just a waste of time,” says Gillett.

Once swimmers “get it,” notes Skinner, “then they can apply what they’ve learned to other skills and other strokes. As a coach, don’t be shy about exposing swimmer brains to land-based exercises and then putting athletes in the pool to see if they can connect the two.”

Skinner has used video to evaluate swimmer racing skills and do math-based race analysis. He has also reviewed biomechanics in one-on-one and/or group settings where videotaping was mixed with pool swimming through a swim—review—rotation.

Tape-delayed review with an inpool camera slaved to a DVR has been a Skinner staple. More recently, with the advent of tabs, iPads and smartphones, Skinner has taken video snippets at practice and then sent them via e-mail to swimmers for review.

“With apps like Dartfish Express and Coaches Eye, and sites that host this kind of function, it makes video very easy to manage, especially with college-level athletes. With platforms like Dartfish TV, it makes it very easy for coaches to pull up video from their servers and share any type of video with swimmers in the pool.

In my case, that could be anywhere from training video to video from the Olympic Games.”

While all video is not rocket science, some problems remain. The biggest is that “it is still analog video for the most part,” he says. “However, there are some simple tools that cost less than $150 that will give 1080p, 30-frames-per-second video. The problem with small cameras is that you either have to be very adept at aiming the camera without a viewfinder or you have to get in the water.

The other option is to let swimmers capture one another. Right now, there

BEST CANDIDATES FOR VIDEO So who are the best candidates for video?

“In every program, you’ll find that all swimmers are into video when it’s

VIDEO FOR SMALL-TEAM COACHES For coaches of small teams, available cash can be an issue. “It really depends on your budget. A simple Kodak Playsport ($100 to $200 range) is very affordable. You can’t stream it directly to your computer, but it’s fairly simple to remove the SD card and load it on. It also has a big enough screen for playback and has multiple speed playback options.”

GoPro, which has found favor with the extreme sports crowd, has digital cameras that cost in the $300 to $400 range. Skinner likes it for its fine digital video, but dislikes the inability to stream directly to the computer.

“There are a number of companies who will supply you with the underwater camera, the capture platform and a direct link into a DVR or computer, but that involves a lot more cost,” he says.

In an ideal world, videotaping would be a constant training aid. For those with limited time and resources, Skinner suggests early season as a prime time to video. For the videophobic or more training-oriented coach, Skinner advises teaching swimmers how to manage themselves.

“On some days, coaches could work the camera and evaluate athletes while the rest of the group is doing the sets on their own. This is always doable if you make it a priority.

The real value is that once swimmers understand their stroke and master some new techniques through video, they will be much better prepared to train and swim hard with the higher level of efficiency.”

on deck and at the pool. However, a much smaller percentage will go out of their way to study video away from the pool,” says Skinner.

Someone who can relate is Bailey Weathers, now the director of athletics at Grace College in Winona Lake, Ind. He used video extensively as the women’s coach at Notre Dame and Club Wolverine. He expected his younger swimmers to own the videoing process and would not review a DVD with a swimmer until he knew the athlete had watched it herself.

“We don’t do enough to make kids take ownership anymore,” he says.

“For a lot of small programs, video is expensive to set up. There is nothing wrong with charging for the service until you pay for the equipment. It is surprising how much more attentive kids will be if the parents are paying $25 to film them than if they are getting it for free,” says Weathers.

Skinner has used a number of different products over the years, but has spent most of the last 12 working with Dartfish. “It can be very robust if you know how to use it, but it still struggles with some of the advanced digital video you can capture via camera today,” he says. “AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is probably the toughest on the software, but current versions handle it a lot better than the 2011 edition,” he notes.

In many ways, simplicity still trumps high tech. “These days, I find that I spend more time with a tablet or an iPad,” says Skinner. “Video review and athlete follow-up is easy.

I can send a review analysis to their e-mail accounts for home inspection. With apps that cost $5, this is very easy. For us, meet video is via a computer or Dartfish.TV, and training video is usually via a tab/iPad or a tape-delayed DVR or TIVO system.

“There is a lot to video,” he observes, “but the reality is that so few coaches use video at all. It is kind of sad, really. These days, cost isn’t an issue—you can access great tools for next to nothing.” v

are a few cameras with a 1080p option that are on a pole, and you can video swimmers directly, but they struggle when played back at 30fps.

We’re not that far away from products that will give you 1080 resolution and up to 60fps. I can’t wait to get my hands on one,” says Skinner.

UP&comers age group swimmers of the month by shoshanna rutemiller photo provided by tammi kling

D

ouble trouble! Sisters Destiny and Sieara Kling are a powerhouse pair in the pool. The duo, ages 11 and 13, respectively, swim together MondaySaturday at the Westside Silver Fins in Goodyear, Ariz. But they are far from mirror images. As Coach Ryan Kent says, “They train together, but have very different personalities. I use two completely different coaching styles when dealing with the girls.”

The styles seem to be working, based on their recent results. Destiny ranks first in the nation among 11-yearolds in the 500 (5:16.98), 1000 (10:48.96) and 1650 (18:15.52) yard freestyle, with times from Nov. 28 and 29 at the 2012 AZ Holiday Festival. She is also ranked top 5 in the 200 back and 200 fly. Sieara aged-up last year to the 13-14 group, but not before she rewrote the Silver Fins’ record book in the 11-12 age group. She holds team records in the 200 yard free, 100-200-400 IM and the 100 fly (both yards and meters).

But Sieara may need to start looking over her shoulder because younger sister, Destiny, has already started taking a number of 11-12 team records in the 800 and 1500 meter freestyle as well as the 100, 500 and 1650 yard free.

“They battle in the pool every day,” Kent said about the sisters, who have trained together for the past two years.

“Destiny owes quite a bit to her sister for both laying out a path to follow and giving her someone to chase.”

The biggest difference between the girls is their specialty events. Older sister, Sieara, shows strength in the sprints, while Destiny is a dynamo distance swimmer.

Sieara is outspoken about her dislike of distance, saying, “I only swim distance events when my coach makes me. I prefer sprints. Right now, the 100 fly is my favorite—but I also love the 100 back and 100 free.” Destiny, meanwhile, is very clear: “I love the 1000 and the 500.”

“They have the typical sibling relationship,” says Coach Kent. “They argue, bicker and compete—but in a healthy way. The best method for Destiny doesn’t work for Sieara, but both girls are GREAT kids.” v

BEHIND THE SCENES SW Cover Photo Shoot with Tom Shields by shoshanna rutemiller

photos by alexander c . miller

Rain. That one word usually spells disaster for outdoor photo shoots.

So, when an unseasonable storm rolled through Phoenix, Ariz. the same weekend that Swimming World Magazine had scheduled a photo shoot with University of California’s Tom Shields, there were two options: change locations or change mentality.

We chose the latter. With camera, umbrellas and towels in hand, Tom and the Swimming World Magazine crew weathered the weather to play with the cover shoot concept of: Can California Maintain Its NCAA Reign?

Why did we choose to honor California for the March cover? The Golden Bears head into the 2013 NCAA Championships as two-time defending champions on both the men’s and women’s sides. In our annual NCAA preview article, senior writer John Lohn once again picked Cal as the favorites to win its third straight men’s NCAA team title. And since this is the men’s year to be featured, Shields got the call.

California head men’s coach, Dave Durden, graciously allowed Swimming World Magazine to snatch team leader Shields for a photo

shoot the morning before Cal’s dual meet against Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz.

Boy, did we have fun!

We started off the shoot with simple headshots, and then became progressively more creative as the morning and rain wore on. In one shot, Shields stands arms out, head thrown back as the rain poured down. Shields was a wonderfully good sport—he didn’t put up any argument at the request to stand underneath a waterspout, posing with chilly rainwater pouring down on his head.

Swimming World Magazine also got to know Shields throughout the course of the shoot. The small talk culminated in the article, “25 Things You Didn’t Know About Tom Shields,” and “What’s in Tom Shields’ Bag?” in the Gutter Talk section of our magazine on page 48.

The day was capped off with California trouncing the Sun Devils at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Complex, just down the road from the photo shoot’s location. Needless to say, even the pouring rain didn’t deter Shields from collecting a handful of wins. v

This passive retention allows the transmission of pulling or traction forces up the arm without the need to contract the muscles of the hand, forearm and upper arm as would be necessary if the hands were not passively retained. This allows more effective stretching of the upper body. $15.99 54

At the Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, March 7, 1996, Tom Dolan (2006 ISHOF Honor Swimmer) set a U.S. Open record of 4:12.72 in the 400 meter IM. The time just missed his WR 4:12.30 from the 1994 World Championships in Rome, but earned him a trip to the Atlanta Olympics. Although he clocked a slower time in Atlanta than both of his records, he still won the Olympic gold medal in 4:14.90. At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, he repeated his gold medal triumph and lowered his WR to 4:11.76.

That standard would last until August 2002, when Michael Phelps clocked 4:11.09 to begin his own 400 IM world record-setting streak.
