    This was one of the more interesting things I’ve seen happen at a meet of this caliber. Hunter Armstrong and Evangelos Makrygiannis did an accidental lane swap, swam the entire semi-final, and then they just shuffled ’em back around to where they were supposed to be. Wild.

    A fire broke out Monday at a waterpark under construction at one of the Nordic region’s biggest amusement parks, sending a huge plume of black smoke drifting over Goteberg, Sweden’s second-largest city.

    The blaze spread across several yet-to-be-opened waterslides at Liseberg park, and wrecked large parts of the tube waterslides, including one with a drop of 13 meters (43 feet).

    The World Aquatics Championships are being held in Doha. And our 4-person swim team is on a mission. They only know one speed: compete like they train.

    These Team Guam swimmers are distinctly different from each other, but all share a laser-like focus and know what they need to do. You may not see it on their expressions, but their game faces are on long way before they hit the pool.

    Nothing rattles Izzy Poppe’s laidback nature. Jimi Hendrix is the protective and mentoring older brother, AND consummate teammate. Amaya Bollinger is methodical. And Mia Lee is jovial. Our team doesn’t believe in predicting outcomes. But they WILL guarantee how we’ll compete.
