PHOENIX, Arizona, September 5. LISA Bratton had a whirlwind month in August, jetsetting to Australia for the Pan Pacific championships then returning to the United States to immediately begin her freshman year at Texas A&M University. On today’s edition of The Morning Swim Show<\/i> Bratton talks about swimming in Australia and is joined by her Tri-City Channel Cats coach Todd Stafek. <\/p>\n

She was thrilled to be a part of a national team that included superstars such as Katie Ledecky and Missy Franklin and talked about meeting Michael Phelps officially over breakfast one morning.<\/p>\nStafek discussed the preparation for nationals and the goals he and Bratton set for the meet. He also talks about the effect Bratton\u2019s success has had on the Tri-City Channel Cats, including a large number of children trying out for the team.<\/p>\nSpecial Thanks to FINIS for sponsoring the Morning Swim Show’s interview segments in the FINIS Monitor. <\/p>\nDownload The FINIS <a href=http:\/\/www.finisinc.com\/download-content\/catalogs\/2011-Custom-Catalog.pdf target=\u201d_blank\u201d>Custom Suit Catalog<\/a><\/p>\nVisit <a href=http:\/\/www.finisinc.com\/ target=\"_blank\">FINIS<\/a> to learn more about their innovative products for aquatic athletes.<\/p>\nTo send comments or suggestions about content on The Morning Swim Show<\/i>, <a href=mailto:mail@morningswimshow.com>click here<\/a> to send an email.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOENIX, Arizona, September 5.
