PHOENIX, Arizona, January 2. HAPPY New Year! We are proud and excited to start 2013 off right by presenting swimming fans with the new version of Swimming World Magazine.

ON THE COVER: After disappearing from the swimming spotlight for nearly a decade after retiring from the sport in 2003, Anthony Ervin returned and qualified for the U.S. Olympic team that competed in London. This time around, he approaches swimming with a newfound maturity he considered absent before. “Now, I am a swimmer, an educator and learner, but I'm also a rock-and-roller. We'll see where life takes me,” he says. [COVER PHOTO BY MIKE LEWIS, OLAVISTAPHOTOGRAPHY.COM]
