While Notre Dame traveled to Michigan over the weekend, a former Wolverine trekked his way to Irish country Saturday.
2012 Gold Medalist Tyler Clary was on hand at the Notre Dame Swim Clinic helping young swimmers learn some new techniques. Clary won the gold in London in the 200M backstroke.
“It’s so cool to come in and do what we love to do, which is swim,” said Clary. “I get to teach kids to swim which is special for me because I’ve been in the position before where I’ve learned from people who’ve come back from the Olympics”
“Alessandro De Rose made his Cliff Diving World Series Debut back in July, during the fourth stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in Malcesine (Italy). Watch and listen on how and why the Italian took up such an extreme sport!”
“And when you see that the water is coming, you stretch your body, you squeeze your bum in and try to stay really tight and look forward, because if you look down, the water will punch and break your mouth”
Nice, now I’m definitely not doing that ! :-P

‘Right now it is unthinkable to go into water,’ says Ingvild Snildal who is staying away indefinitely. Snildal announced already last year that she would take a sabbatical year, and now regrets having then changed her mind and soldiered on because of new surroundings in Bergen. ‘I regret it a bit. I should probably have taken a break as planned and then returned. I can not do anything about it now, so now I’ve better do what is right today.’
TV2 journalist and himself recent Norwegian national team member Sander Smørdal notes in his article on TV2.no that Norwegian swimming is now devoid of high profile swimmers after the last 1.5 years events. The 2012 European Champions Sara Nordenstam and Ingvild Snildal will not have full focus on swimming this fall as Nordenstam is to take part in TV Norge reality-show ‘71° nord‘, and Ingvild Snildal now reveals that she has chosen to take a break from top swimming.

An emotional triathlon national coach Michael Krüger told Lokalavisen Esbjerg Monday morning, that Camilla Pedersen is being woken up in 10 to 14 days at the earliest. There are no significant changes in her condition, which remains critical but stable.
“And it may unfortunately be even longer than that. This because Camilla has been medicated so heavily. She has been given maximum sleeping pills in six days now, and even if the figures had improved, and the alarm had been canceled, she should be stepped out slowly. Unfortunately, the numbers have not improved, ” says an emotional coach who is just about to write a status message to the union’s website.

Louis Lowenthal was 14 when he died on Wednesday, October 31, at Sinai Hospital, three days after he was administered CPR on the pool deck at Meadowbrook, NBAC’s pool, following a Sunday morning swim practice. To get a glimpse of who young Louis was, read the The Baltimore Sun’s report on the celebration of his life. […]
“The very best people had been there,†explained Bowman recalling the Sunday in question. The lifeguard who administered CPR was an ex-marine, a nurse was present, a doctor at the helm of his profession in the US was on hand but did not intervene directly because he believed that he could have done no better than those helping the young swimmer. They had done all they could. […]
When the puzzle was pieced together with Louis’s paediatrician Dr Alan Lake at the request of the grieving Lowenthal family, the verdict was clear: Shallow Water Blackout. […]
Bowman urged all coaches to watch the 52-minute video of the roundtable discussion that is posted here on the NBAC website
