The Morning Swim Show: Pieter van den Hoogenband Comes Out of Retirement; Larsen Jensen Relives Bronze Medal-Winning Swim, Dicusses Campaigning for John McCain; Preview of Sydney World Cup stop

PHOENIX, Arizona, October 24. OLYMPIC silver and bronze medalist Larsen Jensen is today's guest on The Morning Swim Show discussing topics as wide as his experiences at the Olympics and hitting the campaign trail for John McCain.

Jensen, who won silver in the 1500 free in 2004 and bronze in the 400 free in 2008, talks about racing in a heated 400 free race in Beijing. He said he has no regrets about the race strategy that got him the bronze medal, because he believes he might not have gone as fast if he had taken the race out at a quicker pace.

Jensen also talks about his life since Beijing, which includes runs on the beach and moving into his new home on the outskirts of Los Angeles. In the months after the Olympics, he's also helped with John McCain's presidential campaign, including speaking at the Republican National Convention and appearing with one of John McCain's daughters. He also got to visit the White House with other Olympians, and talks about the special treat he got as a VIP.

In Meet Flyer, host Peter Busch talks about the star swimmers scheduled to swim in this weekend's stop in the FINA World Cup in Sydney, Australia.
