In a press release last week, Bergen Swim Festival 2013 could boast a best ever field of world-class swimmers, including 4 male breaststroke finalists from the London 2012 Olympics. Also known as the Alexander Dale Oen Memorial, there is no doubt that the congregation of swim stars has a lot to do with them wanting to honor their lost friend Alex, who died just before last year’s meet in Bergen.

“A former Mission Viejo Nadadores swim coach has been banned for life by swimming’s national governing body after he had an inappropriate relationship with a female teenage swimmer. Daniel Dusenbury, was banned by USA Swimming after officials obtained a DVD filled with explicit details of their long-term sexual relationship. The team’s officials commented that as early as 2006, Dusenbury was involved in a relationship that lasted for more than four years with a 15-year-old swimmer from Aliso Niguel High. Dusenbury has not yet commented on his punishment.”
