Izabella Adame, Canyons Aquatic Club swimmer, and Valencia High School student shared her recent swimming accomplishment. With her support team at her side cheering her on she was able to qualify for the 2020 USA Swimming Olympics tryout in June 2020 in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Russian artistic swimming pair of Svetlana Romashina & Natalia Ishchenko earned Gold Medals during the Summer Olympic Games 2016 in Rio de Janeiro with this breathtaking performance to Mermaids (Rusalki) by Mikhail Ekimyan. Enjoy!
This 12-year-old just swam more than TEN MILES across Lake Tahoe! He’s the youngest to swim across the lake from east to west. It’s not his first achievement: he’s also the youngest to swim to Alcatraz and he received an honorary ESPY award earlier this year.
It can be difficult to find the time to get into the pool & the motivation to swim any sort of structured session can be draining! Fear not! To save you the stress we have three ‘must do’ weekly workouts that Mark & Heather are going to share with you now!
Dream, work hard, believe and do not cheat.
Congratulations to the extraordinary Gaurvi Singhvi, a 16-year-old swimmer who successfully swam the English Channel solo today 23 August in a time of 13 hours and 28 minutes.
The 23-year old man hospitalized after he was struck by lightning Friday afternoon while swimming in the Atlantic Ocean off Kitty Hawk remains in critical condition.
The incident happened near the Kitty Hawk Road intersection around 2:50 p.m., as a thunderstorm that developed over the Albemarle Sound moved across the northern beaches.

German Paralympic long-jump gold medallist Markus Rehm would like to see a closer relationship between the Paralympics and the Olympics.
His world record jump would have won gold at the last three Olympics.
But others think the events should be kept separate.
Although today (25th August 2019) marks one year to go to the Tokyo2020 Summer Paralympic Games we first need to note that the world’s best Para swimmers are going to London for the World Para Swimming Allianz Championship from 9-15 September.
