The Morning Swim Show: News on Michael Lohberg’s Recovery; Bob Gillett Discusses Creativity in Coaching; Phelps and Foster on TV

PHOENIX, Arizona, September 19. GET ready for the weekend with this jam-packed edition of The Morning Swim Show.

Host Peter Busch starts the show with news from Michael Lohberg, who has been undergoing treatment for aplastic anemia. Then, Busch talks to Coach Bob Gillett in an interview done at the 2008 ASCA clinic in Las Vegas.

Gillett said the goal of coming to the clinic is to walk away from each lecture session with at least one idea, which could "spur your creativity … and you carry it to the next step with an idea of your own."

Gillett was one of the pioneers of the underwater dolphin kick, and concedes that he has about 10 new coaching methods and physiological projects that he working on. Gillett said his creativity comes from "looking outside your field and then looking inside your field for something entirely different." He said the idea of fish kicking came from an article in Scientific America magazine that talked about scientists' research of how fish move in water.

This edition of the show concludes with a look at two swimming stars on television this weekend. Michael Phelps will appear in a comedy sketch in a pre-Emmys show with Jimmy Kimmel. Also, British swimmer Mark Foster will be one of the participants in the British dancing competition "Strictly Come Dancing."
