U.S. National Championships Predictions, Part One
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana. JUST days remain until the beginning of
the Phillips 66 U.S. National Championships at the IUPUI Natatorium in
Indianapolis. Swimming fans have eagerly anticipated this week since the
conclusion of swimming at last summer's Olympics. Now, finally, the
U.S. will pick
the World Championship team. Plenty of big names remain from the London
team, but plenty of events have vacancies that will force young, new
faces to step to the forefront. Who steps up in Indy will help decide
who leads the way for the U.S. this Olympiad.
U.S. National Championships Predictions, Part Two
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana. THE third and fourth days of the U.S.
National Championships will bring important races for Olympians such as
Jessica Hardy and younger swimmers attempting to make their mark, such

Indianapolis, and both
enter as favorites in both events. Hardy holds the world record in both
events on the women's side, but she didn't qualify to swim the 100
breast in the Olympics last year. Now, with a renewed focus on
breaststroke, she will battle Breeja Larson for supremacy in these
races.

free, and the
non-Olympic distance races, the women's 800 and men's 1500 free.

of elite swimmers need to cement their status now as ones to watch, to
give them time to get used to the spotlight before 2016.

In My Mind: Flowers Sea Swim is a Gem in the Swimming Crown
When it comes to creating an open water race, you could only
dream about a package that includes magnificent white sand, boundlessly
clear, blue water, superb weather, friendly faces everywhere you turn,
and an organizational team so efficient their talents rival that of any
event,
anywhere. For the Flowers Sea Swim, this dream is a reality, and their
annual event--having just completed its 21st year--is, like a fine wine,
only getting better with age. If you haven't heard of it--or
participated in it--you're missing out on a lifetime experience.
