    As the six-month countdown to the start of the Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro hit calendars across the world, one of Team USA’s biggest stars quietly wrapped up a training session in San Diego.

    Swimmer Ryan Lochte spent the past three weeks living at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center while training at several high school pools across the county with his teammates on Swim Mac Elite based out of Charlotte, North Carolina.

    Lochte, who turns 32 in August, aims to represent the U.S. in his fourth Olympics.

    “I remember when it was my 1st Olympics and I was one of the youngest guys on our USA team, and now I’m the oldest guy on the USA team, so it’s weird” said Lochte.

    A 10-year-old boy has been raped at a public swimming pool in Vienna, according to local media reports.

    Local newspaper Kronen Zeitung described the assailant as a 20-year-old Iraqi refugee, who was arrested at the scene of the incident in late December.

    It was reported that the child was taken to hospital for treatment over “severe” injuries.

    Austrian police did not initially release details of the rape, which took place on 22 December at the Theresienbad pool, in order to protect the victim, according to Kronen Zeitung.

    A champion free-diver who hunts fish with a spear has described how she kills octopuses by biting their heads with her teeth.

    Kimi Werner can hold her breath for a staggering 4 minutes and 45 seconds, allowing her to hunt animals beneath the waves with just a spear and a knife.

    The 35-year-old bikini babe has even caught 160lb yellow fin tuna fish in her native Hawaii.

    Kimi shares out her prizes and in return gets fresh food from other hunters.

  • Swimisodes – Backstroke Swim Drill – 6 Kick Switch

    The Race Club #swimisodes World champion backstroker, Junya Koga demonstrates a backstroke swim drill also known as 6 Kick Switch, that will help you appreciate the importance of this extreme rotation from one side to the other. Developing a faster backstroke swim begins with learning to use fast, strong body rotation.The energy from this quick body turn couples with the force from the underwater pull, resulting in more distance per stroke. The rotation of the body to the side in backstroke also places the shoulder in a stronger mechanical position to generate a greater force during the pull. See The Race Club
