PHOENIX, Arizona, December 23. AFTER an intense few weeks across the sport, the world of swimming started tapering off as this past week featured a bit of a breather on SwimmingWorldMagazine.com. Our staff, however, made sure we provided high-quality content throughout the week.
Swimming World Radio shined this week as Brent Rutemiller scored an interview with the legendary Tracy Caulkins as they both spoke with Katie Hoff after Hoff took down the last Caulkins' record on the American books. Meanwhile, Rutemiller also spoke with top coaches Paul Bergen and Paul Yetter about championship traits.
In our premium section, John Lohn took the impending turn of another calendar year as the opportunity to look back an incredible year and to look forward to 2007.
Also, SwimmingWorldMagazine.com wishes a Happy Holidays to all of its readers as we all head into the new year.
