    “Finnish swimmer Hanna-Maria Seppälä is showing a basic ab exercise everyone should be able to do. If you can not do this one, I recommend you forget all other ab exercises and practice this one. You have to be able to control your abs enough to sit up without using your hands/arms & lifting the legs.”

    The YMCA of Dane County’s swim team practice times and pool locations are going back to normal. This comes after Y aquatics staff told parents their swimmers would be shuffled around to deal with overcrowding. The Y made the changes to free up space for other use. Upset by the decision, 120 swimmers left the team, essentially solving the overcrowding issue. But even with the schedules remaining the same, there’s still tension between families who’ve stayed and Y management.

    “This isn’t swimming lessons. For our family, if there’s practice, I take them there,” said YMCA swim team mom Sheryl Terry.

    Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte and artist Dave Kinsey teamed up to design a limited-edition swim cap for Speedo USA’s Art of the Cap. All proceeds from the cap go toward Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) an organization that’s committed to curing Duchenne, a lethal form of muscular dystrophy. Every cap sold will raise awareness, raise money, and make a difference.
