    The family of two teenage brothers who tragically drowned at a public school pool in New Jersey is suing the school district, with their lawyer claiming the staff at the pool was negligent. Now allegations in the lawsuit have come out with the family’s attorney saying that surveillance video shows a lifeguard walking casually to the pool office to get help instead of jumping into the water.

    Michael Phelps has doubled down on his call to action to USA Swimming. This time, it is in a five-page, specific, and actionable statement released on his Instagram, which has received international news coverage and generated a whole lot of buzz throughout the swimming community, to say the least.

    With USA Swimming still without a permanent CEO after more than 350 days, the community’s patience is understandably wearing thinner and thinner. In this video, I share my thoughts on the callout and what I believe we should be focusing on as a community, moving this sport forward and creating more opportunities for everyone involved at every level.
