OLYMPIANS Misty Hyman and Kristy Kowal took their decades of knowledge and experience as competitive swimmers to Austin, Texas, over the weekend, where they held a special \u201cSwim Like A Girl\u201d clinic for the Nitro Swimming.<\/p>\n<p>The ladies on Nitro\u2019s national team, aged between 15and 18 years old, spent a day and a half learning various key aspects of competitive swimming from Hyman and Kowal. With the ladies-only clinic run by two of the best female American swimmers in history, the topics covered various aspects of diet, training and swimming technique. Naturally, Hyman gave pointers on how to execute the dolphin kick as well as she did when she set national high school records in the mid-1990s and won Olympic gold in the 200 butterfly in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Kowal, an elementary school teacher in Pennsylvania, was also a major source of motivation. Her experience of missing the 1996 Olympic team but rallying to make the 2000 squad and win silver\u00a0in the 200 breaststroke inspired those in attendance.<\/p>\n<h1>From Natalie Davis (17)<\/h1>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Not only were Kristy and Misty amazing swimmers, they&#8217;re even better women and role models. Being able to spend the weekend with them was such a blessing! They taught us about pushing through the rough times, the importance of leaning on your teammates, and how to be confident, with a teeny bit of added sass!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h1>From Karling Hemstreet (16)<\/h1>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Misty and Kristy were two amazing women who taught us how to be great women, how to kick some guy butt, and how to be amazing people. I&#8217;m so glad we got to meet them. It truly was a once in a lifetime thing.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Check out photos from the event below.<\/p>\n<div
