  • We’ve Tested the Waters – Training Bikinis for Athletes by Lo Swim

    See this Kickstarter fundraiser. It looks very interesting, but supporters please move fast to help them launch this product, as their deadline is running out in 4 days.

    Lo Swim was launched in 2009 by Sheeva VanGemeren and Annie Babicz with the Signature Training Bikini. As former college swimmers, (UC Davis and Cal, respectively) we had the privilege of receiving feedback from some of the best swimmers in the country. Our greatest compliment? “It stayed on better than a one-piece during run and dives!”….from an Olympian.

    Not only are we helping to bring beach worthy fashion trends to athletes, but we firmly believe that our suit provides the most customized fit of any product on the market. After initial strap and draw cord adjustments, all of your energy can be directed towards training – no need to worry about shifting, slipping or suit movement of any kind. The straps are adjustable in two ways, so you can adjust the back straps to make a “T” shape or “Y” shape, depending on whats more comfortable AND if you switch it up, you avoid swimmer tan lines!

    chris-desantisGentofte Svømmeklub announces today that Chris DeSantis will be their new head coach starting 1 August 2013, now with their current head coach Stefan Hansen moving on to become assistant head coach at the National Training Center. DeSantis is well known also as blogger for instance at The Swim Brief.

    ‘Chris will get to use his Master of Science in positive psychology, a science dealing with the “appreciative approach” that the club wants to build on. Chris has previously been an assistant coach at Georgia Institute of Technology, where he worked for 4 years with quality swimmers from around the world. His experience in cultural development from Georgia will also come into play in Gentofte next season. Chris has coached swimmers who have qualified for the World Championships, European Championships, World University Games and the NCAA Division 1 Championship. Since he arrived in Denmark in April, he has worked with Sigma 2, which consists of junior and age-group swimmers. Because of this, he has gained a good knowledge of Danish swimming.’

    See for instance The Guardian

    The largest algal bloom ever recorded in China has turned the Yellow Sea green and may be related to pollution from agriculture and industry.

    Officials in the city of Qingdao had used bulldozers to remove 7,335 tonnes of the growth from beaches according to the Xinhua news agency.

    The phenomenon has become an annual occurrence in the region over the past six summers. This year’s incident has swathed 28,900 sq km (11,158 sq miles), twice as much as the previous biggest bloom in 2008.
