Swimmer's Daily

  • The outsweep in the freestyle pulling motion is one of the most common mistakes we see swimmers make. We love the FINIS ISO Paddles to help fix this crucial mistake.

  • These dolphins help provide physical and emotional therapy for wounded veterans. On Sunday (1/9), the veterans got in the water with the dolphins as part of a Wounded Warrior Project event in the Florida Keys.

  • Swimmers took a dip into the mouth of Silver Creek right where it meets Lake Erie to support charity. For those who managed the cold water, it was all worth it.

  • Follow as I swim with US Olympians this week such as Ryan Murphy, Bryce Mefford, and Head Coach Dave Durden at the US Olympic Training Center. The day in the life takes you through a day as an NCAA Swimmer on UC Berkeley’s Men’s Swim Team as we are on our winter training trip.

    In this video, I take you around the US Olympic Training Center as we have two practices, weights, dorm tour, 5 trips to the cafeteria and more with the Cal Swim Team so make sure to stick around.

    Go Bears!

  • Two young swimmers have survived a close call at a notorious Warriewood swimming hole, rescued by surf lifesavers from a lonely rock ledge just in time.

  • Spencer Cobb broke three vertebrae jumping into a pond on Halloween. Now, it’s a long road to recovery.

  • At the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, visitors might expect menacing displays of underwater predators but the new 1.2 million gallon shark exhibit is designed to turn fear into fascination. A stainless-steel cage offers visitors the chance to go up close and personal with sharks like the great hammerhead, silvertip, and tiger shark. Weekend TODAY’s Kristen Welker and Peter Alexander venture into the water for a behind-the-scenes look.

  • Antonio José Silva, President of the Portuguese Swimming Federation, and candidate for President at Europe’s Continental Organisation LEN, today launched his Election Manifesto and stressed that this was “on behalf of the entire team of Europe 4 All Aquatics.”

    Mr. Silva said: “It is a great honour for me to represent E4AA as a Presidential candidate for the elections on 5 February. I am happy that this Manifesto is the fruit of many open discussions with Member Federation colleagues and represents the views of, and feedback from, the European aquatics community.

    “This Manifesto states our desire for change and a commitment to democracy, integrity, transparency, and development. But as well as our belief in “Unity in Vision” you will also see that for each of the Manifesto Pillars objectives, there are also clear and practical action plans for the first 100 days. Should we be honoured to achieve your support, we will work quickly, and decisively with fixed priorities and timelines. We look forward to working with you to design and achieve a bright future for our beloved sport of aquatics.”

    The Manifesto details how the over-arching vision of E4AA will be underpinned by four supporting pillars:

    1            Integrity, Transparency and Good Governance

    2            Our Sport: Accessible for All

    3            Aquatic Disciplines: Learning and Working Together

    4            Sustainability: Making LEN Fit for the Future

    Josep Varvodic, the President of the Croatian federation, and a candidate for Vice President in the LEN elections said:

    “The preparation of this Manifesto has been a positive team effort and we will continue to work in this way. Between now and February 5 many of our colleagues will speak up about key Manifesto topics on the E4AA communications’ platform, where we are also looking forward to revealing more information about our growing group of supporters.”

    The candidacy of Mr. Silva for the Presidency of LEN has been fully supported in letters from the Presidents of the Portuguese Youth and Sports Institute, the National Olympic Committee of Portugal, and the National Paralympic Committee of Portugal.
