SANTA CLARA, California. MANY swimmers lack rotation and

Pursley Pep Talks: Just For The Heck of It!
One of the required sets for all of the swimmers in one of our
national team camps was a 3,000-meter swim for time. While this may have
been a routine set for some of the distance swimmers, it was a shock to
