Our favorite clue had to be 29A, Some dragonflies, DARNERS (really: apparently people used to believe that dragonflies could sew your lips shut!). We were entranced with 38A, Mediterranean plant named for its brightly colored flowers, SUNROSE. And finally we just loved discovering 27A, George ______________, voted "Coach of the Century" by the International Swimming Hall of Fame, HAINES. For Saturday, we have of course bestowed our JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award), so to discover who won and why, check out today's episode.Show note imagery: From the immortal Mary Poppins, Let's Go Fly a KiteWe love feedback!

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some footy chat; BT gives his thoughts on why state of origin footy has never worked in the AFL and how we can make it work and then Harrison quizzes BT on what Mad Mondays were like in the 80s. Brian then shares a scary story about how he almost lost his life in a Scooba diving incident before finally working through some mailbag submissions. Later, the boys are joined by 3x Olympic Gold Medallist, Grant Hackett. Grant is one of the greatest distance swimmers in history and for many years was the undisputed King of the 1500m Freestyle having gone unbeaten in the discipline through 11 years of competition. He won 26x Gold Medals combined at the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games & World Championships and broke 16x world records. He has also received prestigious honors such as the Order of Australia, Centenary Medal, The Don Award, Australian Sports Medal, and membership within the Sports Australia Hall of Fame and International Swimming Hall of Fame. The conversation goes deep on; the pressure of performing and adapting to challenges, mindset around goal setting and winning and losing, finding balance between focused intensity and finding joy in the process, the determination and attention to detail required to be the best and his relationship with greats of the sports such as Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe , plus much, much more. With an educational background in business administration, business law and financial services, Grant is now the CEO of Generation Life, an Australia-based, publicly listed investment firm managing more than $1.3 billion. More importantly than his role at Gen. Life, Grant is a proud husband and father and all-round top bloke. We thank Grant for his time. This episode is brought to by Hard Cuddles.

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan is joined by Olympic Gold medalist Laura Wilkinson to discuss how mental training helped her overcome injuries and the role mental health plays in performance. Beating what many said were impossible odds in one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history, Laura, starting in eighth place and with a broken foot, came from behind to win the 2000 Olympic platform gold medal. Laura has also won the 2004 World Cup and the 2005 World Championships, becoming the first woman in history to win all three coveted world titles in platform diving. Along the way, she has won 19 US National Titles, been voted by the American public the 2000 US Olympic Spirit Award winner and was nominated for an ESPY award. Laura has also been inducted into five different Halls of Fame including the International Swimming Hall of Fame. People always notice something that sets Laura apart from her competitors, her smile. She smiles during the most pressure packed and fierce competitions, almost like she's removed from the situation, acknowledging her family and teammates in the stands. Laura explains, “I smile because I love what I do. I make a commitment before the competition to enjoy the experience however it turns out.” Laura attended the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games as a reporter and analyst for NBC. In 2017, following a nine year retirement, Laura returned to competition. After a successful return placing second at US Nationals, Laura underwent a two level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). After a year, Laura again returned to competition just in time for the 2020 Olympics to be postponed a year. She continued training and with only three months of access to platform facilities, at 43 years old and with all four of her kids watching, she was a finalist at the 2021 Olympic Trials. Laura has her own podcast The Pursuit of Gold. Her show seeks to equip athletes with the most effective tools that will help them reach their biggest goals in sport through conversations with elite and Olympic athletes, sports professionals, coaches, and experts. In these conversations, Laura and her guests unlock the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual tools that shape the whole athlete and generate peak performance. She is also an author and mindset coach. Laura wrote a book titled Life at 0 Meters, Lessons from an Olympic Champion, and she recently released The Confidence Journal to help athletes create and maintain a resilient mindset. In addition, Laura created an online course called Confident Competitor to help eliminate performance anxiety and help athletes approach competitions with confidence. Laura is also wife to Eriek Hulseman and mommy to four amazing children by birth and adoption.

She was born with Aniridia, an absence of the iris in her eyes. At the time, significant stigma surrounded people with disabilities. Trischa's parents were told that she would need to be institutionalized. That possibility wasn't an option for either Trischa or her parents. Instead, Trischa became heavily involved in—and talented at—swimming early on. Her ability was so great that she became the first visually impaired athlete to earn an NCAA Division I scholarship, competing and becoming a four-time All-American at the University of Nebraska. Before enrolling at the University of Nebraska, Trischa actually competed in her first Paralympic Games at just 16. There, she won seven gold medals. Between the ages of 16 and 40, Trischa won 55 Paralympic medals, including 41 gold medals across seven Paralympic Games. In this episode, Trischa discusses: The stigma she faced as an athlete with a disability, how the landscape has changed and what still needs to be done to create an equitable playing field for athletes with disabilities; Why she attended law school despite a guidance counselor telling her it was impossible for a visually impaired person; and How changing her routine allowed her attain one of the greatest streaks in sport history Already inducted into the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame, this September Trischa will be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

In 2014, his dream came true when he introduced KAATSU to the Department of Defense, NASA, CIA, FBI, dozens of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS teams, and over 80 universities. Today, Steven has taught KAATSU applications and benefits to thousands including Navy SEALs and Olympic gold medalists as well as people in their 80's and 90's. With KAATSU, Steven has been able to enable a myriad of people from wounded warriors and paraplegics, to Olympic and professional athletes to rehabilitate more quickly, effectively and conveniently. He has seen KAATSU enable older, sedentary Baby Boomers to improve their blood circulation and muscle tone. After Steven experienced a widowmaker heart attack in 2016, he utilized KAATSU himself as cardiac therapy, proving unheard-of confidence in the blood flow restriction (BFR) modality. Steven's passion for health and fitness stems from his own background. He was an NCAA Division I water polo player and swimmer, and is a Guinness World Record holder, inductee in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the Ice Swimming Hall of Fame, and the recipient of the Poseidon Award from the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

The Third 50 - E11 - Brent Rutemiller - Swimming in Legacy It's difficult to describe Brent Rutemiller. He's a swimmer. There's a good start. He's been a coach. OK - you sort of get the picture but.... He also has been - (and in some cases still is): A marketing manager A CEO A publisher An editor An author A manager A cartoon artist An influencer and thought leader in the sport A TV host A script writer A sales manager A presenter A global force for change in the sport of swimming A dad of three remarkable kids A loving and devoted husband to a truly amazing woman - Ellen A leader A wonderful friend and colleague and... Someone who's been fighting and beating the heck out of cancer for almost three years. We asked Brent a few months ago about his mental attitude to fighting the greatest fight of his life - his battle with cancer - and he said the most inspiring words we've ever heard from a human being, "Every morning I tell myself today things will be better". In this THE THIRD 50 Episode, the first of series 2 - we talk to Brent about his life in swimming. We discuss how he fell in love with the sport and how he's seen and experienced the sport change and evolve - not always for the better - over his life in swimming. We ask him about his time leading Swimming World and we invite him to share his views on the sport and how it's likely to develop in the years to come. And we talk with Brent about his family, his philosophies and views on life and on how he's remained positive, powerful and strong as he refuses to allow the disease to define his attitudes or his existence. This is an Episode not to be missed! You will be inspired. You will be informed. You will laugh a little at some terrible jokes but mostly you'll gain some personal insights into the life of one of the sport's most influential and intelligent figures. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) * The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. * The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. * The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics, and your hard training all come together. The 3rd 50 is the "championship" lap, where the great swimmers take control of themselves and the race and power away to victory. We want to share our almost 80 years of experience with coaches, swimming teachers, swimmers, triathletes, and people who love being in and around the water worldwide. Who Are Wayne and Glenn?

Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started. Imagine if you could commence your swimming coaching journey - with 10, 20, 30 years of experience somehow magically imprinted on your mind right from the first session! Every coach looks back at their coaching career at some time and asks "If only I knew that when....." or "I wish I'd known that when I ....." In this Episode - the final episode of our current series, Glenn and Wayne share the Top Ten Things they've learnt from their combined 80 years in swimming and provide you with the insights and knowledge they've gained from what at times seems to be several lifetimes in the sport. 1. Learn How To Build Relationships With Humans! Stop Watches, Heart Rate Monitors, And Pace Clocks Are Only Tools - People Are Everything. 2. Technique Beats Everything Every Time. 3. Training = Competition = Training - What You Accept In Practice Is What You Will See On Race Day. 4. Talent Is Overrated - Character Counts. 5. Learn Something New Every Session - Every Day. 6. What You Say Is Important - But What You Do Is Everything. 7. Ask Questions Of Experienced Coaches - We Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants. 8. Technique Is Not A One Size Fits All. 9. A Practice From The “Stoics” - The Problem Is The Way Forward - Learn To Embrace Problems, Difficulties, Challenges - They Are Usually Presenting You With The Greatest Learning Opportunities You Can Imagine. 10. Don't Take It Too Seriously - Even At The Highest Levels, It's About Fun. If They're Not Enjoying - You're Doing It Wrong! Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race.

Muscle losses begin at age 30 - if we're not doing anything to prevent them. The average (and no you're not!) individual will lose 3-8% of muscle per decade and a significant amount by age 60. After that, it accelerates. Again.. This is based on historical data. How about we change history? Loss of muscle is a choice. Now that we have the science. You're either choosing to lose it or choosing not to. Today on the Flipping 50 show, a tool how not to. Even if… you are in bed rest, you're injured, you're traveling, you're caregiving or in front of a computer 8 hours a day. We've discussed blood flow restriction bands here on Flipping 50 before. This goes a bit deeper. It's the upgrade. If gaining muscle over 50 is right where you are and exactly what you want, this is your episode. However, it's also for your older aging parents, for preparedness if you are injured, for your younger sons and daughters maybe more sedentary and less motivated.

If you're a regular listener of this show, you know we're big fans of building muscle over 50. As Dr. Gabrielle Lyon tells us, muscle is the organ of longevity. Muscle helps keep us functioning at a high level as we age, it gives us a lean toned body, and we know that generally speaking, more muscle means a faster metabolism which means more calories burned per day. But gaining muscle can be difficult. It requires some form of resistance training – typically with weights. It requires progressive overload, and it requires us to fuel ourselves properly to create an environment conducive to muscle growth. But what if there was a shortcut, a hack so to speak? What if there was something we could do – not to replace strength training – but to complement and enhance the hard work we do in the gym that required very minimal additional effort on our part? Sound too good to be true? Stick around, we're gonna deep dive into this technology and show you exactly how to build and keep muscle as you age. My guest today is Steven Munatones. Stephen is the CEO and co-founder of KAATSU which is a pioneer in the blood flow restriction market. Steven has introduced KAATSU successfully to collegiate and professional sports teams, branches of US military, and as you'll soon hear – to a large population of people just like you and me. Steven is an accomplished athlete himself. He was a NCAA Division I water polo player and swimmer, he's a Guinness World Record holder, inductee in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the Ice Swimming Hall of Fame, and the recipient of the Poseidon Award from the International Swimming Hall of Fame. He coached the USA Swimming national team at 9 international competitions, including 4 world championships, served as an NBC commentator at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and founded WOWSA, the World Open Water Swimming Association. Join us today as Steven shares exactly how we might harness blood flow restriction technology for recovery, rehabilitation, performance, and longevity. I started our conversation by asking Steven how he got interested in blood flow restriction.

The Third 50 - E9 - Getting Better at Getting Better! Some coaches have been coaching for 20 years. The question is - do you really have 20 years of experience - or do you have 1 year of experience….20 times over. Humans have a tendency to fall into routines and repeat things. In coaching this can mean you end up doing the same things, the same way, over and over and over. Life is changing rapidly. Kids are learning faster and they learn differently! Kids communicate differently. Kids are looking for more real, more connected, more genuine relationships from teachers, coaches, etc And at the same time - the sport is getting FASTER!!! In this episode Glenn and Wayne discuss coaching. They talk about coaching from the perspective of getting better at coaching - and getting better at getting better! They consider: Creativity in coaching - finding new and more engaging ways to coach skills and other capabilities; Building and growing relationships with kids - with other coaches - with parents / carers; Coaching coaches - how can coaches continue to learn, to grow and to improve over time; Reflection - how can coaches review / reflect on their own coaching and accelerate their own learning - and why this is important; Communication with kids - how to connect, engage and inspire kids; Empowerment - empowering swimmers to take ownership and responsibility for their destiny! Sometimes...ya just gotta stop - and think and ask WHY: Why do we need to keep doing long warm ups for young swimmers? They train in a warm, body weight supported environment….. Why do we do repeats over full lengths? Why always 25 / 50 / 100 / 200 etc. Why do we separate DRILLS from SETS? Why can't we integrate them? Why do we long main sets, accepting poor technique and skills as the swimmers get tired in the interest of keeping “heart-rate” up in a target zone? Why do we do “speed development” sets at the end of a long, hard workout - the second workout of the day? Why do we make sprinters do long, grinding threshold work - when it doesn't help them get faster or stronger or better at sprinting? Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics, and your hard training all come together. The 3rd 50 is the "championship" lap, where the great swimmers take control of themselves and the race and power away to victory.

This week's American Swimming Coaches Association talk comes from legendary coach, Jon Urbanchek. Coach Urb is an Olympic swimming coach known for his successful coaching career spanning over five decades. He coached dozens upon dozens of top-tier swimmers - Dolan, Barrowman, Namesnik, and Vanderkaay - among others - while serving as the men's head swim coach for the University of Michigan from 1982 to 2004. Urbanchek's tenure at Michigan resulted in a NCAA team championship in 1995. He played a crucial role in the development of the "Michigan Method" of training, which focuses on high-volume training, pacing strategies during races, and long aerobic sets to build endurance. He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 2008. The World Clinic is coming right up after the summer. Book your ticket to Dallas, Texas from September 6th through 9th.

EPISODE 8 - Living a Coach's Life - Coach - Coach Thyself! Coaching is a wonderful profession - coaches change lives. Coaches inspire the hearts, minds and spirits of the people they coach. Coaches create opportunities for people to realize their potential. Coaches provide the environment for people to see their dreams become a reality. But it is also a challenging and demanding profession…. Early mornings First to arrive/last to leave Weekend meets Not highly paid for the most part, Demanding parents Dealing with Swim Club Boards / Committees Etc Increasingly, we know that coaches can struggle with stress, fatigue, burnout, health issues, and other difficulties. Coaches often spend so much time helping others that they neglect their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In Episode 8 of The Third 50, Glenn and Wayne talk about coaches and coaching. We look at ways coaches can stay healthy - and adopt a holistic approach to their own physical and mental well-being. TEN Takeaways!!! TEN WAYS COACHES CAN TAKE BETTER CARE OF THEMSELVES: WALK OFF - TURN OFF - turn off your phone, have days off - take time for yourself Water bottle and snacks - During workouts, have a water bottle for yourself and a snack to keep up your energy levels. Have a NO COACH TIME - for example, catch up on phone calls on the way home but once you get to your front door - it's YOU TIME. Take a break every season! Get to workouts early and spend 5 minutes relaxing - breathing TEAM COACH - sometimes step back a little and allow the other coaches in the team to take charge and lead the program SLEEP!!! Try to get to bed a little earlier. When you go to bed - don't sit there with your TABLET writing workouts or reviewing videos - go to sleep. Have a NON-SWIMMING PASSION - something you can do that takes your mind and body completely away from thinking about workouts, sets and drills Where possible - when the team stretches - stretch! Flexibility and mobility help you to stay loose and relaxed and it's a great time to get to know the team a little better. Stressed? Remove the cause Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens.

EPISODE 7 - Mind Body Connections: The Holistic Approach to Peak Swimming Performance Traditional models of mental skills training are mostly inefficient - i.e. developing mental skills in lectures and classrooms in the days prior to a big Meet. The integration of mental skills into all training, all practices and every workout is the key - MIND AND BODY - holistic training and coaching is critical! Every set / every session / every workout - has mental and emotional elements - the body can't swim without the head! Every coach will know that mental skills are incredibly important at all levels of swimming. Just as you wouldn't leave the development of stroke technique to the day before a Meet, you wouldn't leave the development of mental skills to the day before a Meet then hope the swimmer can deal with the challenges of the emotional environment of the competitive battlefield! In Episode 7 of The Third 50, Wayne and Glenn put their heads together and look at the importance mental skills development in swimming and triathlon. We discuss some of the critically important elements of mental skills development including: CONFIDENCE OVER-THINKING NEGATIVE SELF TALK' SELF-DOUBT RESILIENCE / MENTAL TOUGHNESS COMMITMENT UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS - of the swimmer and others Perhaps most importantly we present ways that coaches can integrate the development of mental skills directly through their workout design and practice sessions. Three Takeaways: Mental skills need to be practiced daily - in all practices, training sessions and activities. Coaches should look to add a mental skills element to all sets and sessions. Workouts are mostly written from a physiological perspective, i.e. VOLUME, INTENSITY AND FREQUENCY. Try adding another column - a mental skills aspect to everything you do. The name of the game ISN'T just to swim fast or to swim with great skills....It's coaching swimmers to swim fast with great skills when and where it matters - regardless of the situation or challenges - and that means coaching their heads as much as preparing their bodies! Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish.

Welcome to The Third 50! EPISODE 6 - Equipment - Training Tools - Gear, Gimmicks and Gizmos! Swimming equipment can be a valuable addition to swimming and triathlon coaching programs for athletes of all ages and at all stages of swimming technique development. Think of them as the "tools of technique"! However, as is the case with all "tools" - it's important for coaches, swimmers, triathletes and anyone who uses fins, paddles, snorkels, pull-buoys and kickboards in their programs to know WHEN / WHY /and HOW to use swimming equipment efficiently and effectively. In Episode 6 of The Third 50, Wayne and Glenn - and SPECIAL GUEST John Mix | Founder FINIS, Inc. look at the use of swimming equipment and consider: What is the best age to start using different types of swimming equipment? Who should / should not be using swimming equipment? How do you know which is the right swimming equipment to use? How do you select the right swimming equipment for you? How do coaches integrate swimming equipment use into their practices? Is there a time NOT to be using swimming equipment? Three Takeaways: Equipment is not a magical, quick fix to swimming technique improvement. Swimming equipment is a set of "tools" that can potentially contribute to the development of swimming technique and other important swimming skills and capabilities. Before using any swimming equipment, coaches, swimmers and triathletes need to clarify their reasons for WHY they are using the equipment. Start off with clarifying your own "technical-model" - and then introduce equipment which can help athletes progress towards optimal performance. It's no good coming up with a great solution to the wrong problem. Take time to understand how and why swimming equipment can be used before including it's use in your program.

Welcome to The Third 50! EPISODE 5 - WE HAVE A NEED - A NEED FOR SPEEEEEEEEEEEED! Speed is the most precious thing in swimming. It's what it's all about! The training, the sets, the repeats, the workouts, the dryland sessions, the mental skills practices, the equipment...everything we do in this sport is about the achievement of one, clear, simple thing - to go faster! In Episode 5 of The Third 50, Wayne and Glenn look at the development of swimming speed through the context of our TEN SWIMMING SPEED LAWS! SWIMMING SPEED LAW 1 - The faster you want to go, the more relaxed you have to be. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 2 - There's a big difference between speed and effort. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 3 - Technique and Speed are inseparable! SWIMMING SPEED LAW 4 - Train Speed – fast!!! Not at the end of an endurance workout SWIMMING SPEED LAW 5 - 100% is Speed – less than 100% isn't. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 6 - Underwater kicking is vital. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 7 - Long rest, short duration. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 8 - Excellence repeated – not just repeats. SWIMMING SPEED LAW 9 - TEACH, TRAIN, TEST – REPEAT! SWIMMING SPEED LAW 10 - It's' about speed – not the length of the repeat. Three Takeaways: Speed is everything! The search for ways to help swimmers, triathletes, masters swimmers, surf-athletes and fitness swimmers to swim faster is never ending. There are some important principles to understand in the development of swimming speed that apply to everyone who is trying to identify ways of swimming faster - our TEN SWIMMING SPEED "LAWS". The sport is getting faster! This means that training for speed has become by necessity more deliberate, more purposeful and more precise. Just throwing in a set of 25s at the end of workout and hoping this will help athletes swim faster is not an efficient or effective way to develop real speed. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together. The 3rd 50 is the "championship" lap, where the great swimmers take control of themselves and the race and power away to victory. We want to share our almost 80 years of experience with coaches, swimming teachers, swimmers, triathletes, and people who love being in and around the water worldwide. Who Are Wayne and Glenn?

Welcome to The Third 50! The Fourth Episode...DRILLS DRILLS DRILLS and more DRILLS!!! Download Wayne's chart here: Swimming coaches collect drills like kids collect candy! There are tens of thousands of swimming drills: there's a drill for every swimming occasion. However, how can drills be used optimally to develop an efficient and effective swimming technique for individual swimmers? In this Episode of The Third 50, Wayne and Glenn look at swimming drills and try to answer the questions: What are “great" drills? Why do you use drills? When do you use drills? How do you best use drills? We also talk about the best ways to integrate drills into practice sessions and workouts and the difference between Stroke DEVELOPMENT Drills and Stroke CORRECTION Drills. If you're a coach, a competitive swimmer, a triathlete, a surf-athlete or a fitness-swimmer - and you use drills in your swimming - then this is a must listen podcast for you! Three Takeaways: Drills are an important element of the "tool-kit" of every coach. However, as it is with using any tool, the key is choosing the right tool for the right situation and - knowing how to use it. There is no perfect drill! Copying the drills of the world's best coaches and swimmers does not mean you've found the secret to success. Drills are just one part of the art of coaching swimmers successfully. Rather than collecting more and more drills, just start with a few then learn how to evolve them through the systematic introduction of speed, fatigue and pressure situations in practice. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together.

Welcome to The Third 50! This is the third episode in season one and it's an incredibly important topic - Developing the Technical Eye! Every coach needs to develop their "Technical Eye" - their ability to look at a swimmer and determine how to improve and enhance the swimmer's ability to move efficiently through water. Some coaches have a "technical eye" which is mostly intuitive - almost instinctive - and they can practically "feel" technique as a result of years and years and years of watching swimmers train and race. But , Wayne and Glenn present ways for all coaches to learn - and master their Technical Eye! Three Takeaways: Every coach needs to develop a TECHNICAL EYE - the ability to see technique and to identify where technique is working and where it's not working; Coaches will talk sets and reps and volume and equipment - but the importance of developing a TECHNICAL “EYE” can not be over-stated; A simple way to learn the Technical Eye is to walk with a swimmer and progressively, systematically and methodically see what's happening from the tips of their fingers to the tips of their toes. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together.

Welcome to The Third 50! In this Second Episode, Wayne and Glenn discuss the importance of underwater kicking! Under-water kicking - "Dolphins" are vital - they are essential for fast swimming. The question is - how can you coach swimmers to develop a "deadly" Dolphin????? We look at some outstanding examples of underwater kickers and talk about training and coaching techniques to integrate super fast "dolphins" into your practices. Three Takeaways: Learning and mastering underwater kicking - "Underwater-Dolphins"- is so important that it is rightly referred to as the "FIFTH STROKE". Thinking of it as the fifth stroke elevates its importance in your coaching program to the same level as butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. There's no "one-size-fits-all" model when it comes to underwater kicking. The golden rule here is "It's faster if it's faster." Swimmers should stay underwater and doing their "dolphins" IF - they are faster underwater than they are when they are swimming on the surface. Remember the TEACH, TRAIN, TEST process for underwater kicking. Teach the skill. Train the skill. Then importantly, Test the skill under competition conditions. Teach swimmers to kick efficiently and effectively underwater. Train them to perform their underwater kicking at target race speed. Then find a Meet where you can test and assess their ability to perform their underwater kick when and where it matters....in competition. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 flows because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together.

Welcome to The Third 50! In this first Episode, Wayne and Glenn discuss how coaches can help and inspire their swimmers to realize their full potential and share their thoughts on swimming technique. Three Takeaways: Every swimmer is unique: every technique is unique. How do you develop and enhance the technique and skills of individual swimmers? Some principles apply to all swimmers, e.g. head and hips positions, small head movements, soft hands, loose feet, but the name of the game is to develop "their" stroke - a stroke that works for the one specific, unique individual. There is no one "text-book perfect" swimming technique that applies to all swimmers. The only swimmer who is "text-book perfect" is the swimmer whose picture is in the textbook. For everyone else, it's about finding out what's efficient and effective in maximizing propulsion WHILE minimizing resistance. Why The Third 50? Because it's the third 50 of a 200 that really matters. (We could have called this The Third 100 because it's the same principle!) The 1st 50 is fast because you're fresh and fired up, ready to race. The 2nd 50 is flowing because you're trying to relax and keep it smooth. The 4th 50 is about fighting and staying strong to the finish. But the 3rd 50 is where the magic happens. It's where the integration of your mind and body, your skills and technique, your stroke mechanics and your hard training all come together.

Dr. Sam Freas' 10 Essentials of Sprinting: 1. Race every day in practice. 2. Swim at 100% speed all year long, not just during a taper. 3. Swim superfast all year long, not just during a taper. 4. Always work dryland to improve the components of fitness: strength, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, agility, and flexibility. 5. Work on starts, turns, and finishes almost every day in practice. At least 5 workouts per week. 6. Practice swimming with no breath during a 50 and with only a few breaths during a 100. This gives better body position and better speed. 7. Execute a high kick with the heels nine to fifteen inches out of the water. This gives better body position. 8. Practice reaction drills every day. 9. Change the training if a loss of speed results due to the trashing of the cardiovascular system or overtraining of the neuromuscular system. 10. Be happy, don't worry, get plenty of sleep and eat healthily. This was shared by Coach Mike White of Madison Aquatics Club on Twitter. In 1989, Dr. Freas was appointed President and CEO of the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and held that position until 2004. His books “Sprinting: A Coach's Challenge” and "Sprinting II: It Takes Guts", have shaped and influenced thousands of coaches. They are must-read books for any swim coach.

We are proud to announce that we've joined forces with the American Swimming Coaches Association to revive some of the most outstanding conference speeches in the history of our sport. Check out ASCA's upcoming events and clinics after the talk. And don't forget to mark your calendars for the World Clinic in Dallas this year. September 6 through 9th. First up, Doc Counsilman and his famous talk from Montreal IN 1971 entitled, "The X-Factor". Here is an excerpt from his International Swimming Hall of Fame bio -- don't forget to become a monthly donor to ISHOF to preserve our sport's history! The ‘X' Factor Doc sometimes adopted a folksy way of putting his message across. His talk at the ASCA World Clinic in Montreal in 1971 on “The ‘X' Factor in Coaching” remains a classic. He spoke about a mythical coach, ‘Frank Zilch' who, hard as he tried to become successful, lacked the ‘X' factor.' Doc explained the ‘X' factor as the ability to recognize the important things in coaching, and to work on them, and to minimize the unimportant. “The great coach must have two basic abilities – he must be a good organizer and a good psychologist,” said Doc. “The good organizer will have the large team, will attract the good swimmers from other teams, and develop the Mark Spitzs and Gary Halls of the future. The good psychologist will be able to handle the parent problems, get along with the city council, and be able to communicate successfully with the swimmers – he will have the ‘super' teams.” “The good coach today needs only an elementary knowledge of conditioning physiology and stroke mechanics. He does not need these to get the job done. However nothing remains static, and in the future these two areas will become more and more important.” Our Sponsors: BRATTER PA IMMIGRATION LAW: Exclusive immigration representation of athletes, entrepreneurs, artists, investors, and entertainers.

Craig Beardsley is a former World Record holder in the 200 Fly. He qualified for the 1980 Olympics but didn't get to compete due to President Jimmy Carter's boycott. Beardsley set the World Record of 1:58.21 in the 200- meter butterfly on July 30, 1980, one week after the Olympic Games—a time that was over a second faster than Soviet swimmer Sergey Fesenko‘s gold medal time in the 1980 Olympic finals. After the United States–led boycott of the Moscow Olympics, Beardsley continued to train. He held both the American and World Records from 1980 to 1983. Swimming World Magazine named Beardsley its American Male Swimmer of the Year in 1981. He was a two-time NCAA champion in the 200 Fly and was an 8x All-American honors while swimming for Randy Reese and the Florida Gators. After his swimming career was over, Craig got introduced to Swim Across America and has been involved for nearly 3 decades raising money for cancer research. Craig was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in October of 2022 along with Jon Sieben, another former 200 Fly World Record holder. Today is Giving Tuesday.

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island native, Clara Lamore was an American competition swimmer who represented the United States at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London. Lamore won a number of AAU breaststroke titles and semi-retired from swimming after the 1948 Olympics, worked for New England Telephone, then would become a nun, in The Sisters of the Cenacle. In 1964, Lamore was one of the first two women to graduate from Providence College. She later became a teacher and guidance counselor at Western Hills Middle School in Cranston. By 1980 she developed chronic back pain and resumed swimming upon advice from a doctor. She became the most decorated master swimmer of all time, setting more than 180 world and 465 American records. She was selected the Outstanding Masters Swimmer in her age group for eight consecutive years and was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1995. Now, for our feature story: Over the past decade, Daniel Spring has been a familiar face on Stonington's Board of Finance, providing consistency and stability while helping to establish an undesignated fund and move forward important infrastructure projects including school renovations and the construction of the North Stonington Center for Emergency Services. First Selectman Michael Urgo said: Spring's guidance has been instrumental to the town over the past 10 years and has been critical in positioning the town to continue to have financial success well into the future. “When he first began his tenure on the Board of Finance, the town had nearly no undesignated reserve fund. Through his leadership as chairman, we have built a healthy undesignated fund balance to 15.5% of our annual budget. That wouldn't have happened without him, and that's just one example.” Spring, a financial adviser and Republican who first joined the Board of Finance in 2010, was feted Tuesday evening by members of the Board of Selectmen, State Sen. Heather Somers and State Rep. Greg Howard during a surprise ceremony at the board's last meeting of the current term Tuesday night at the North Stonington Education Center. The longtime volunteer and member of the North Stonington Republican Town Committee was present to receive the honors, which included both local and state citations thanking him for his service. During his time with the Board of Finance, Spring was a proponent of balanced spending and led initiatives to implement several financial policies designed to improve oversight and help set the town on track for steady, sustainable growth. Under his leadership, officials said the town was able to achieve an A1 credit rating. He was also an essential member of both the School Modernization Committee and Center for Emergency Services Building Committee and his ability to reach across the aisle and communicate with the public helped to gain the support necessary to move both projects forward. Spring said Tuesday that he was fortunate to serve, and although the job was one that often demanded he commit a good deal of time over the years, he felt privileged to have had the opportunity to serve. He thanked his family for their continued support and understanding, and praised other members of the Board of Finance for their dedication in serving next to him.

He was the loving husband of Mildred. John was born in Ware, MA, graduated from Ware High School and continued his education at UMASS Amherst receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Fisheries and Forestry, and a Master's Degree in Fishery Biology. John began his career with the State of Rhode Island in 1967 working as a Fisheries Biologist. He was named Deputy Chief of Fisheries in 1978 where he served until being appointed Chief of Fish and Wildlife in 1988 and finished his 35-year career retiring in 2003. John spent his career as a staunch advocate of hunters and fishermen. As an avid hunter and fisherman himself, he never missed an opening day of trout season out visiting with the fishermen. As Chief of Fish and Wildlife, John also promoted field trial bird dogs setting up a training area in Arcadia Management Area. This has become one of the premier trial areas in the northeast. Upon his retirement, the State of Rhode Island named said area in his honor. In addition to his wife, John leaves his daughter, son, as well as his granddaughter. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate John's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more!

Meet Olympian and Nutritionist Nall Richesson, a classic A(+) personality and achiever. Anita is an Olympic swimmer with a list of achievements too long to list here, but here are a few: She's a 3 Olympic medals; Gold, Silver & Bronze; Is a 3-time world record holder; Is a 5-time D1 All American; Has been Inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame; That list above would be even longer but, during her competition days, due to unexpected and unfolding health issues such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other health issues, it made training and competing difficult and eventually impossible. When no Dr's. had solutions, she took matters into her own hands and figured it out by herself. This show is about how she wouldn't take "we can't figure it out" for an answer, how she dug in her heels and figured out how to solve these problems that so many of us suffer from too; and put together a nutrition and mindset program to fix herself, and you too. Take a look at just some of the types of people who come to her for her nutritional programs: Fellow Olympians; UFC Fighters; NFL Players; Other elite athletes; and folks like you and I. She says, to paraphrase, 'you just don't have to feel this (that) way'. Anita is compelling, smart, highly achieved and can most certainly help you get where you need to go too. Listen in! Anita will enchant you..... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-who-are-you-podcast/support

I love her heart for blending the aspects of her life together and including her children every step of the way.

She's the world's greatest cold water marathon swimmer and a medical science phenomenon because when this trailblazer swims through frigid water, her body temperature rises instead of falls. At only 15, Lynne Cox swam across the English Channel, breaking the women's and the men's records, returning at 16 to do it all again. And that was just the beginning of her journey as a world-class athlete. Lynne made marathon swimming her life, swimming through just about every body of water in the world, wearing only a bathing suit, cap, and goggles. She is the first woman to swim across Cook Strait and the first to swim one mile across Antarctica in 32-degree water without a wetsuit. She is the author of Swimming To Antarctica, Grayson, and Swimming in the Sink and has been inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. What makes this exceptional woman tick? Her complete love of swimming. Lynne says: "When I am swimming, I feel a complete connection to the ocean, to God and the universe. I am the instrument and the ocean is the symphony." #storybehindhersuccess #mydoveproductions #16LifeLessons.
