  • Wildeboer: Our Olympic team was too inexperienced

    Now former Danish head coach Paulus Wildeboer has some interesting comments in what Sporten.dk calls ‘his last interview with Danish media’, that the Danish team with the exception of Mie Ø. Nielsen is too old to last until Rio 2016, and that is most likely was lack of Olympic experience that limited the Danish swim team from winning medals at the London 2012 Olympics.

    – ‘We discovered it and fought with it during the preparations for the Olympics, and during the Games themselves. To have success at the Olympics, it is necessary to have a team where 70 percent has experience from previous Olympic Games. This goes for both swimmers and technical staff. We were not even close to 20 percent. When we then ran into problems – not big problems but any problem gets magnified during the Olympics – we didn’t react in the proper way. That is probably why we ended up with 8 finals, 2 fourth places and no medals. Personally, I’m afraid that this will be very hard to change these next 4 years.’

  • High School Swimmer Saves Teammate’s Life During Practice

    Read wkbw.com. The way I see it, they shouldn’t have been doing those dangerous drills, especially since only one had received life saving training. But happy story nevertheless.

    Charlie Cain, 17, never thought he would need the life saving training he received from the American Red Cross. He took the lifeguarding class in preparation for his pre-med dreams.

    However, Thursday afternoon at his swim practice, Cain’s skills were put to the test.

    The Peoria Notre Dame Varsity swim team had been working on how long they could hold their breath and how many yards they could swim while doing it.

    Alex Bousky, 16, was working to break some records when he pushed himself a little too far. Bousky passed out after his 75th yard and suffered a seizure in the bottom of the pool.

    When swimmer Grant Streid noticed Bousky was nowhere to be seen, Cain sprang into action jumping in the water and carrying his teammate to safety.
