  • Quad-City police: Swimmer in ACLU lawsuit resisted arrest

    Quad-City area police being sued by the ACLU in the case involving a collegiate swimmer who was mistakenly taken into custody at an area rest stop are saying the young man was resisting arrest.

    The ACLU filed suit earlier this year on behalf of Jaylan Butler, a 19-year-old member of the Eastern Illinois University swim team mistaken for a shooting suspect when he stepped off the college’s bus at a rest area near East Moline in February of 2019.

    Butler and the driver of the bus, Todd Slingerland, said police cars screamed into the rest area with lights flashing. They spotted Butler, the only black member of the swim team, and ordered him to the ground. Both men said Butler instantly complied with police orders. Butler said he has been instructed by his father most of his life to obey law enforcement.

    Four officers from three departments named in the suit have filed responses with the court that include claims Butler resisted arrest.

    Missy Franklin won four Olympic gold medals and nine world titles, all before moving into college. In 2013, she was undoubtedly the world’s premier swimmer, male or female.

    The 2012 London Games, where Franklin swept the backstrokes and won two more relay golds, tell just part of her story. Franklin highlights NBCSN’s Olympic Games Week programming on Friday night. A full TV schedule is here.

  • Coronavirus: State now says opening a swimming pool an essential service

    After several weeks of being told they can’t schedule and get paid for opening residential swimming pools because it wasn’t considered an essential service, pool maintenance companies across New York have been given the green light to start offering the service again.

    “Yes, it’s our understanding that they now can start scheduling appointments,” said Dominick Mondi, executive director of the Northeast Spa and Pool Association. Mondi and others in his organization based the recommendation on a written statement from Empire State Development and conversations this week with officials there. The companies, of course, have to follow proper social distancing protocol and sanitizing procedures.

    Earlier this month, the majority of the state’s pool maintenance businesses stopped offering pool opening services and in many cases closed their doors for the time being, basing their decision on information given to them by the Northeast Spa and Pool Association and Hot Tub Alliance, the two main trade groups representing the industry in New York.

  • Top 5 abdominal exercises for swimmers

    Apr 19, 2020

    Swimming as a sport requires a large amount of core and abdominal strength to swim efficiently and effectively. Those that can control their core and have strong abdominal musculature, tend to perform at a higher standard than those who do not. Not only that, many of the injured swimmers I have seen with injuries relating to their lower limb, back or shoulders, have all had decreased abdominal strength. Working together on abdominal strengthening, and the injury, they were able to return to the pool better and stronger than ever. Nevertheless, these exercises are not just for swimmers and can be completed by anybody.
