John Tucker takes us to Camp Johnson, North Carolina, where Marines attend the rigorous three-week course to become Instructors of Water Survival.

    “Henry was great. One second everything was fine, and the next second the wave came and swept him inโ€”it happened like that,” said Klum, snapping her fingers. “And he knew what to do. He kind of went under and swam out. It took like four seconds and he was out. I just had to take him and grab him and yank him out.”

    Chinese swimmer Sun Yang won gold medals in the 800m and 1,500m freestyles at the FINA World Championships in 2011, but his coach thinks he can win four titles at the event in July.

    “My target is to help him regain his peak form like he had in London as soon as possible, said coach Zhu Zhigen. “(If we can do that), he will have a chance to win four individual events (ranging from the 200m to the 1,500m).”

    Major power failure in the Faroe Islands today; here at Toftir we lost it for two full hours. Practice was interrupted but not stopped, cold showers skipped and even that last single sock found :-)

    17-year-old Henrik Christiansen had an impressive run at the Eindhoven 2013 Swim Cup this weekend, first breaking three Norwegian junior records in the 200, 800 and 1500 on Saturday, and then taking down also the 400 freestyle Norwegian junior record on Sunday. Undoubtedly the strongest up-and-coming Nordic long distance swimmer, and that is saying a lot ! :-)

    Henrik’s 4 new Norwegian Junior Records

    • 200 free 1:52.33 (old record was Jarl Inge Melberg 1:52.93 in 1988)
    • 400 free 3:58.23 (old record was Gard Kvale 4:00.01 in 2002)
    • 800 free 8:17.76 (old record was Henrik Christiansen 8:18.74 in 2012)
    • 1500 free 15:40.79 (old record was Henrik Christiansen 15.44.70 in 2013)

    Henrik almost broke the 400 IM Nordic Junior record also, with a time of 4:32.51, the current record being Kim Henriksen’s 4:31.21 from 1997.
