  • Jeremy William Kemeny, 40, faces charges of two counts of lewd acts after the 18-year-old victim, who paid rent at Kemeny’s home, reported finding a video that showed her in the bathroom, Maj. Joseph Manning said.

    Officers searched his home on Rocking Horse Lane late Thursday and seized the desktop computer where the victim found the video, as well as two laptop computers, Manning said.

    “Our main priority was getting the evidence so it wasn’t destroyed,” he said.

    Kemeny has been arrested in Beaufort County before, though police are still working to determine what became of a 2009 charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

    According to a 2009 news release that remained on the police department’s website Thursday, Kemeny was accused of impersonating a 16-year-old boy on MySpace, a social networking website, to correspond with two 13-year-old girls and convince them to send him sexually suggestive photos. On Friday, 14th Circuit Solicitor Duffie Stone said he had no information on that arrest.

    Trevor Tiffany, chairman of Myrtha USA, spokesperson for A&T Europe S.p.a.’s Myrtha Pools division and the man who stripped off and took to the water with plastic bottles in Barcelona last year in an attempt to show that the company simply could not detect any evidence of a significant current, now acknowledges that there is evidence on the clock and results sheets from Barcelona to suggest that there was a current in the pool.

    The current controversy was first brought to light by the blog AstuteCrunch, SwimVortex and SwimmingWorld Magazine, shortly after the Barcelona 2013 World Swimming Championships.

    We had a little part in the story also, while SwimSwam’s expert Braden Keith in contrast dismissed the theory, noting that the scientists at the Indiana University Counsilman Center of Swimming Performance were ‘a group that falls under the auspices of the department of public health, rather than engineering or statistical measurement’:

    While we await the Counsilman Center’s full report, we sit and pray that they find better information than that which they’ve provided. While we don’t have the backing of Indiana University here at SwimSwam, we have taken plenty of statistics classes, certainly enough to conquer this basic math, and enough to see even bigger flaws in the accusations than the supposed ‘flaws’ in the pool.

    As mentioned also in The Wall Street Journal, Myrtha is devising an instrument to detect water currents and will test it at the upcoming European championships in Berlin. Myrtha spokesman Trevor Tiffany says the new instrument will be “far more sophisticated” than the improvised test used in Barcelona.

  • Walker was the former CEO and head coach for Excel Aquatics. After USA Swimming notified Walker of their intention to ban him, he was terminated from Excel in May.

    A spokesman for USA Swimming would not comment on why they intend to ban Walker, but a spokesman for Metro police confirmed that in January two men came to police with complaints that Walker sexually abused them as young swimmers.

    Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said the FBI was alerted because swim trips were taken out of state.

    Aaron said because the alleged abuse happened more than 20 years ago, the statute of limitations had passed and the case was cleared.

  • A Florida beach cleared out – with the exception of a woman and lifeguard who tried to save her – when a shark was spotted heading straight toward swimmers on Tuesday afternoon.

    The panic of the 10-foot shark and people screaming from the pier was caught on tape.

    “This just happened off Navarre Beach Pier… 10 ft hammerhead going right at a swimmer and lifeguard…..insane!” wrote Dan Flynn, who posted the video to Facebook.
