ESS PROVIDES MENTAL TOUGHN TWEEN DIFFERENCE BE T GOOD AND GREA

Swimming World intern Chelsea Howard spoke with various experts in the field of sports psychology to look at how mental toughness can be the difference between being good and great in the sport of swimming. Eliminating negative self-talk is one trick that was discussed during the feature.

SWIMMING: LOTS OF GAIN Despite the pain In an article that was a bit darker than is typically published by Swimming World, guest editorialist Stephanie Wishmyer wrote about how several shoulder injuries caused her to quit the sport. However, her love for the positives of the sport far outweighed the physical toll she endured, that she is still a coach with the Potomac Marlins.

SWIMMING HYDRATION, ELECTROLYTE STRATEGIES

Guest columnist Ralph Teller of 1Vigor.com explained some keys to hydration strategies for swimming, which really gave our readers something to consider as they look for every edge possible.

It’s difficult because you can’t just go harder and go faster. You have to get better at your technique. It’s the only way you’re going to get better at swimming, and that’s where I struggle.

E M I T N O I T C A RE “STRICT LIABILITY (which is a rule that has endured, not been struck down, yet almost entirely ignored) is the only fair rule. It needs to be stuck to and used.

Yes, you can get cross-contaminated supplements.

So don’t take them, duh! If you do, as the rule says, it’s YOUR OWN RISK. The bottom line is even if an athlete is unknowingly doping, they’re still getting that competitive advantage over their opponents. That’s why half these “supplements” on the market keep customers coming back--because they know what they’re putting in there, and it ain’t the “proprietary blend” on the ingredients label.” – Motorola_Man (IOC Rule 45 Struck Down by Court of Arbitration for Sport; Door Left Open for IOC to Try Again -- October 6, 2011)

“Inga Elín Cryer set a new Icelandic national record in the 400 freestyle, with a time of 4:15.13, qualifying her for the European Short Course Championships in December. Reason enough to arrange this meet :-)” – Rokur I Jakupsstovu “This is pretty awesome... for such small, remote countries, they post some pretty fast times.” - SJT (Iceland Downs Faroe Islands, 99-81, in Short Course Meter Dual Meet -October 8, 2011)

“While this could solve the length-ofmeet issue, the real issue at hand will be the state of the warmup pool. I was at the meet in 2008, when there were around 1400 swimmers total and it was at times very difficult to get the proper warmup in. In 2012, I wouldn’t be surprised to see over 2000 swimmers. In the same warmup configuration. This promises to be a nightmare for myself and the other swimmers who need to be up and ready for multiple events.”

– Russell Payne (USA Swimming Olympic Trials Should Use 10 Lanes For Prelims -- October 3, 2011)
