PHOENIX, Arizona, October 6. SWIMMING was front and center around the world in the mainstream media last week, with the news of a certain Olympic legend\u2019s run-in with the law. We\u2019ll get to that later in the show as we count down the top five swimming headlines of the past week. Let\u2019s get things started with our number five headline, concerning a big move for one of USA Swimming\u2019s best freestylers.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe> \nYouTube Measures Views Only For Episodes Watched On YouTube \nSubscribe to our YouTube channel, SwimmingWorldSPI<\/b><\/p>\nAfter a year training at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club under Bob Bowman\u2019s direction, Matt McLean is returning to the coach that helped him earn a spot on the 2012 Olympic team. Mark Bernardino is now a coach at the University of South Carolina, and McLean announced that he\u2019s moving to Columbia to work with Bernardino again. Bernardino had previously worked with McLean at the University of Virginia, where McLean became an NCAA champion. After Bernardino ended his longtime career at Virginia, McLean moved to Baltimore to train with the likes of Michael Phelps, Conor Dwyer, Yannick Agnel and more. McLean had a pretty good year, qualifying for last summer\u2019s Pan Pacific championships and also bound for next year\u2019s world championships. Before that, he\u2019ll be swimming at the short course world championships in Qatar in December, which will be his first test of the reunion with Bernardino.<\/p>\nNumber four on our countdown concerns the fine handed to Naoya Tomita after the Japanese breaststroker stole a professional photographer\u2019s camera at the Asian Games. Tomita will pay about $1,000 US dollars for the infraction, and the Japanese swimming federation is still pondering the punishment it will give Tomita. Though Japan has a strong group of top-flight breaststrokers, Tomita has been at or near the top for a few years. He was the 2010 short course world champion in the 200 breaststroke and won that event at the 2010 Asian Games as well. Though he didn\u2019t make the 2012 Olympic team he has always been in the top three or four in Japan. <\/p>\nThe FINA World Cup is returning to France next year, and that announcement is number three on this week\u2019s countdown. FINA President Julio Maglione made the announcement last week in a press conference before the Moscow stop of the current World Cup series, but didn\u2019t say which city would serve as the host. France had been a part of the various iterations of the World Cup for many years going back to the 1980s all the way to 2002, but for whatever reason did not stay on in the past 12 years. The meet has continued to grow in significance, particularly in terms of the money being offered to athletes. Having a stop on the World Cup in Western Europe might increase attendance as many of the world\u2019s best live in Western Europe, and France has a very high number of superstars that could add prestige to the event. The series has only gone as far west as Berlin, Germany, which dropped out of the series a couple of years ago.<\/p>\nIt should come as no surprise to those that followed the Asian Games that Kosuke Hagino was named the MVP of the entire event, and that\u2019s number two on our show. Hagino was easily the top swimmer at the meet, winning four golds, a silver and two bronze medals. Across all sports, Hagino was still clearly the best athlete at the multi-sport competition in South Korea. Going into the meet, the focus wasn\u2019t on Hagino too much as the media hype touted the Sun Yang-Tae Hwan Park rivalry. But Hagino quickly had the spotlight turn on him by beating Sun and Park in the 200 free and nearly beating Sun in the 400 free. He also won both individual medleys and was part of Japan\u2019s winning 800 free relay. Despite the MVP award, Hagino has said he\u2019s not 100 percent pleased with his performances at the Asian Games, mentioning his silver and bronze medal swims as races that could have been better. In any case, Hagino is now going full steam ahead to next year\u2019s world championships, where we\u2019ll see if he can fulfill his goal of being the next Michael Phelps and reap seven medals in Russia.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s time for the number one headline of the week, and of course it\u2019s the saga surrounding Michael Phelps\u2019 DUI arrest in Baltimore last Tuesday. Reports indicate Phelps had been at a casino in the area for eight hours, and had been drinking alcohol as well. He was pulled over for driving 84 miles per hour in an area where the speed limit was 45 miles per hour. He was also cited for crossing double lane lines, and later failed a sobriety test. The DUI charge is Phelps\u2019 second in 10 years. The first came in 2004 when he was 19 years old. Phelps apologized to the world via Twitter about 12 hours after his arrest, returning to Twitter on Sunday to announce that he\u2019ll be entering rehab to deal with his personal issues and is taking a break from swimming. It appears his stint in rehab will be at an inpatient facility for six weeks. Just minutes before we began taping this show, USA Swimming announced that Phelps would serve a six-month suspension from competition though he\u2019ll still be allowed to train with the North Baltimore Aquatic Club during that time. He\u2019ll also be denied his monthly stipend from USA Swimming that he received as part of being on the national team, and in a joint agreement with USA Swimming, Phelps has withdrawn from next year\u2019s world championship team. By not having an international competition to train for next year, we\u2019ll see how it affects Phelps\u2019 comeback and his supposed plans to swim in the Rio Olympics.<\/p>\nAnd there you have it. The top five swimming headlines of the past week. We\u2019ll see if this week can top last week in terms of buzzworthy headlines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOENIX, Arizona, October 6.
