Navy SEAL endorses swimming
“Competitive swimmers have an advantage in this pipeline because of their familiarity and comfort in the water. Something you can’t really teach. One of the biggest and largest hurdles that any potential SEAL has to face is fear of the water, fear of the ocean.”

Flo the dog climbs ladders and high dives into pool
Extremely impressed here, not so happy about heights myself, but this dog just don’t care. What is that, 3 meters? And that comment, “Don’t think about it!” :-D

Nugent says Thorpe didn’t want to swim and his goggles fell off
Australian head coach Leigh Nugent says there were mitigation factors to Ian Thorpe’s 52.28 and 4th in the Zurich International 100 meters freestyle last week, and that his 3:59.28 in the 400 meter was just a cruise. Via Reuters
“Bernard Savage was there and he got the impression from Ian that he didn’t really want to swim there,” Nugent said.
“In the 100 his goggles came off and that did him in a bit psychologically.”
“In the 400 he never raced for performance. He raced it more as a cruising swim and he felt pretty good about that.”
