Voting Open for USA Swimming Golden Goggle Awards

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado, October 8. IN six weeks, New York City will probably have a little more of a golden hue to it, as nearly all of the Olympians on the United States Olympic swimming roster will reunite for the Golden Goggle awards at the New York Marriott Marquis.
