PHOENIX, Arizona, October 3. OLYMPIC gold medalist Jeff Farrell joins today’s edition of The Morning Swim Show<\/i> to talk about his new book that provides new perspective on his memorable week before the 1960 Olympic Trials. <\/p>\n

<\/iframe> \nYouTube Measures Views Only For Episodes Watched On YouTube \nSubscribe to our YouTube channel, SwimmingWorldSPI<\/b><\/p>\nFarrell had an emergency appendectomy the week before the 1960 Trials, where he was expected to win the 100 freestyle on the way to Olympic gold. The new book, \u201cMy Olympic Journey,\u201d is essentially an updated version of \u201cSix Days To Swim\u201d that was published in 1970, and Farrell tells his story now from a first-person point of view. He talks about the idea to write the book and whether he felt emotional reliving such a pivotal period in his life.<\/p>\n<a href=http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/My-Olympic-Story-Rome-1960\/dp\/069227619X\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412291235&sr=8-1&keywords=my+olympic+story>CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE A COPY OF \u201cMY OLYMPIC STORY\u201d<\/a><\/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, October 3.
