Swim Olympian

White coat ceremony Sonoran naturopath school. Proud dad presenting it to my daughter Sydney.

#Olympics2026 fun fact from any games. You win a medal any kind, you then meet 4 people 3 of whom you've never met the other a team Dr who then watch you pee in a cup. Memories In 1984 the swimming was at USC, it's a no alcohol campus. The drug test area had a special permit to serve beer. First event no beer, lots of other hydrating drinks, after the last race beers were very welcome. In 10 months of hard training I could count the number of beers I had on one hand before then.

Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Italy. Here's a look back to the 1984 games in Los Angeles. Good thing I swam on day 5 so I could attend. #Olympics @TeamUSA

Lamb can be a little strong but this was so good. Lamb shank with fire roasted tomatoes and dried figs. In the pressure cooker. Over mashed potatoes. @ChefGruel

2.5 years out from Olympic swim trials. Those that are beginning to put in the work now will make the team. However there are things to work on they don’t even know. Those who do are ahead. Micro-gains Thoughts @GregMeehan16 @USASwimming

World aquatic championships Team USA not having the best meet but I wonder how many rest of the world swimmers train in the US?

Why do swimmers shave their bodies? Many won't understand the second reason 1. Resistance. Taking the hair off you do go a fraction faster 2 Bigger reason: In the process of shaving you take a few layers of skin off. What this does is expose the nerve endings closer to the surface of the skin. This allows you to feel the water better. Grab and go. The feeling is amazing. That's why you have to use a razor not just a clipper.

Do USA swimmers work on start reaction times? So far day 1 sprints are well behind average reaction times. That's critical for a 50 sprint, any stroke. USA Mens 50 fly made 2nd heat semi by 9 100th of a second

Team USA swimming training camp issues are back big time like the Paris Olympic camp. What's going on?

2 swimmer race in men's 400 free tomorrow morning. Third place will be well off of those 2

No American swimmers make big finals of the Men's 400m freestyle at worlds. How far has American middle distance fallen.

Hey @tomdanielson how should I break down swimming world championships in Singapore with your Tour de France efficiency?

Went to #ASCO2025 and found this U-boat-505 in the museum. Quite the week. First time ever downtown to ORD in under 30min. EVER

First year mom isn't around to call on mother's day. Sad.She lead an amazing life. After escaping Hungary in 1956 everyday for her was glorious. Miss her still

I can't believe the @NHL and the @NBA thought enough about the @nuggets or the @Avalanche on this schedule. Both game 7

Now you why people spend millions of $$$ to get elected to a job that pays $174K/year Enter congress with maybe $4 million net worth, leave in 12 years with $40 million. How is that possible? USAID slush fund contributions?
