Swim Bridges are commercial quality kick-out sticks designed to efficiently improve underwater swimming performance.

🏊♀️FAST SWIMS AROUND THE WORLD 🌎 | |||||||||||||||
Division I Men's NCAA Championships | |||||||||||||||
We'll be covering this more in-depth in the college round-up tomorrow, but like the women's meet last week, this week was one helluva meet. | |||||||||||||||
Here are the top swims according to SwimCloud's Index: | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
How Josh Liendo's 40.2 100 Free isn't on this list makes no sense. I think Swimming Stats has a better Top 10 List: | |||||||||||||||
There's no question about who the swimmer of the meet. Leon Marchand of ASU had perhaps the most impressive meet in the history of the NCAA. 10 Swims in all for Marchand and every single one was beyond exceptional. | |||||||||||||||
Not mentioned in the list above was his 🔥 22.27 50 Breaststroke Split 🔥 on ASU's second-place medley relay (fastest ever), his 💥 1:28.42 200 free anchor split 💥 on ASU's second-place 800-free relay (far and above the fastest ever), his 💥 49.2 100 Breaststroke split 💥 on ASU's third-place 400 medley relay (fastest ever), and his 🔥 40.55 100 free split 🔥 on ASU's third-place 400 freestyle relay (one of the fastest ever). | |||||||||||||||
He will be in front of the home crowd come Paris 2024 💪🏼 and all eyes will be on him. | |||||||||||||||
ASU finished their meet in second place behind Cal and ahead of Texas. ASU's highest finish in program history, Texas' lowest finish in over a decade, and Cal's second back-to-back title win since 1979/1980. | |||||||||||||||

3 Key Takeaways: | |||||||||||||||
1. Swimmers should compete in one meet every four to five weeks in the short course season and about one meet every two to three weeks in the brief long course season. | |||||||||||||||
2. Coaches should provide swimmers with opportunities to get to know each other, emphasize team and working together, and incorporate fun activities into practice. | |||||||||||||||
3. Swimmers should be encouraged to participate in USS/LSC camps and travel to meets around the country. | |||||||||||||||
