    Or as they say here on TMZ: “U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte’s won 6 medals — and even beat Michael Phelps — but that still doesn’t get him a pass for pretending to be the biggest d-bag in the pool. He is pretending … right?”

    Matt Grevers’ surprise proposal to longtime girlfriend Annie Chandler has been the talk of the swimming community for the past week, and the happy couple join today’s edition of The Morning Swim Show to relive the experience. Grevers talks about the planning that went into the proposal, which started last December when he spent time with Chandler’s father over Christmas, asking permission and everything :-)

    Val and Pete have been swimming together every morning for the past seventeen years. Once a year they have a race, two laps up and back. Two friends. One race. Two laps. No prisoners.

    Got to take this photo of Slovenia’s Peter Mankoč in our mutual Rome 2009 World Championships team hotel. One of the great things about going to the big events, is that you get to meet your heroes in person, typically like here because we all need to go to the lobby to have decent wireless internet connection :-)
