Stephanie Rice tips and videos on Instagram
“Swimming followers!! Here’s another video for you… I will be doing tips and new videos all week.

Olympic legend Michael Phelps surprises St. Pete swimmers
When the Westminster College swim team arrived for training in St. Petersburg, they could not believe their eyes. Standing poolside at the North Shore Aquatic Complex was a man some might consider an Olympic giant.
