By Andy Ross, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

I have been a huge swimming fan since I was eight years old. After watching almost every race from every meet closely, I have grown to cheer for some swimmers over others for their character or sometimes if they always seem to come up short. There were a lot of moments from 2015 where I got goosebumps from watching certain swimmers do well, or just from seeing truly impressive performances.<\/p>\n

Below are some of those goosebump-inducing moments of 2015…<\/p>\n

1. James Guy\u2019s 200 Freestyle<\/h2>\n

After Great Britain swam out of their minds at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, I was a bit skeptical if they could repeat those performances in 2015. A lot of those British swimmers with breakout swims, like Adam Peaty<\/strong>, Siobahn O\u2019Connor<\/strong> and Ross Murdoch,<\/strong>\u00a0had not been successful on the major international level (yet).<\/p>\n

One of those swimmers from 2014 was James Guy<\/strong>. I wasn\u2019t expecting much from him in Kazan but what he did in Russia was nothing short of spectacular. I knew he was the real deal when he went toe to toe with Sun Yang<\/strong> in the 400 earlier in the meet. But I didn\u2019t think he would be able to challenge for a gold medal in the 200, because I assumed the 400 was his best event.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s 200 free final in Kazan was stacked. I honestly thought that Ryan Lochte<\/strong> was going to be the guy to beat going into the final with Sun, Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> and Chad Le Clos<\/strong> with outside chances. But James Guy went out and won the race. He outswam Sun on the last 50 and it was so cool to see someone beat him at his own game.<\/p>\n

2. Laszlo Cseh\u2019s 200 Butterfly<\/h2>\n
\"FINA<\/a>

I always felt bad for Laszlo Cseh<\/strong> because he had to live in Michael Phelps\u2019<\/strong> shadow for his whole career. He had the meet of his life when he won three silvers in the Beijing Olympics and yet nobody really knows about him or what he did in Beijing. To be honest, I thought Cseh was done in 2011. I thought after the suits, there was no way he would be as good as he was.<\/p>\n

I honestly thought he peaked in Beijing, since he was also getting (relatively) old. But when he did well in the 50 fly in Kazan, it was almost like Cseh was reborn. He came into the 200 fly and it was expected to be a battle between him and Chad Le Clos<\/strong>. He took it out with Le Clos and pulled away at the 125 and he finally won gold again. I didn\u2019t watch it live (as I was sitting in the airport before my flight to nationals), but I wish I could have watched it.<\/p>\n

I tweeted right after he won and said that if he would win in Rio, then it would be easily one of the greatest storylines in the Olympics. It would be like if John Stockton<\/strong> and Karl Malone<\/strong> had won an NBA title in the early 2000s after getting beat by the Michael Jordan<\/strong> Bulls in 1997 and 1998, or if the Buffalo Bills of the early 1990s won a Super Bowl after losing four straight times. But unfortunately for Cseh, Phelps went a time in the 200 fly that would have won the world title. But the Olympic final isn\u2019t for another 11 months, so who knows what will happen…<\/p>\n

3. Kevin Cordes\u2019 Silver<\/h2>\n

Kevin Cordes<\/strong> was another swimmer I have felt bad for. He had an incredible college career and everyone put a lot of pressure on him to perform in long course. In 2013, he didn\u2019t make the final in the 200 breast at Worlds and disqualified the (would have been gold medal-winning) 400 medley relay. In 2014, he disqualified Arizona’s\u00a0400 medley relay with a false start again. And at the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships, his goggles came off in the final of the 100 breast and he wasn\u2019t able to qualify for that event at the 2015 Worlds. It was only a matter of time before he would have a breakthrough swim at a major international meet.<\/p>\n

He lined up for the final of the 200 breast in Kazan as one of the favorites. He kept his stroke long the entire time and did not panic. He was right with Marco Koch<\/strong> and stayed with him to the finish, where he finished second behind Koch. It was Cordes\u2019 first international medal and he finally proved that he could step up in big long course meets.<\/p>\n

4. Emily Seebohm\u2019s 100 Back<\/h2>\n

After she went 58.23 in the prelims of the Olympics, I always thought that Emily Seebohm<\/strong> was the best 100 backstroker in the world. Yes, I do know that Missy Franklin<\/strong> was around, but I always thought Seebohm was naturally better at the 100 than Missy.<\/p>\n

When she won gold in Kazan this summer, it was cool to see her finally break through. She has been around on the world scene since she was 14, but has always seemed like she couldn\u2019t step up in the big moment. I thought she might break the world record this \u00a0summer, but it is only a matter of time before she can track that record down.<\/p>\n

5. Katinka Hosszu\u2019s World Record<\/h2>\n

Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> is probably one of the toughest swimmers in the world and the IM world records for women are probably the toughest in the books. After the 2013 Worlds in Barcelona, I knew she was the only swimmer in the world who had a chance at chasing down both of those world records. It was only a matter of time before she did.<\/p>\n

When she went 2:06 in the semis of the 200 IM, I knew the world record was doomed in the final. She went out and won the race and got under Ariana Kukors\u2019<\/strong> world record. The camera then showed her husband Shane Tusup<\/strong> beating his chest and screaming. Then the camera panned to Hosszu in the water and she had tears in her eyes. I can only imagine how hard she works everyday to be able to handle her busy racing schedule. It was so cool to see her so emotional after getting her first long course world record. I don\u2019t know Katinka personally, but I felt like I was watching a teammate of mine with the excitement I had for her after nabbing a world record.<\/p>\n

6. Michael Phelps at US Nationals<\/h2>\n
\"michael-phelps-podium-interview-usa-swimming-nationals-2015

Michael Phelps<\/strong> has never been my favorite swimmer, but I still love watching him swim in person. I mean, who doesn\u2019t stop and watch the greatest swimmer of all time? When I found out I was going to be on deck at US Nationals, I wasn\u2019t really expecting much from Phelps. He had a lackluster 2014 and I thought he would just get by in San Antonio with a few wins, but no stellar times. Boy was I wrong.<\/p>\n

When he lined up for the 200 fly, I thought he was vulnerable to Jack Conger<\/strong>. Phelps went out and was pretty close to his world record the whole time. He went 1:52 and when I saw how excited he was after he won, I knew I had just witnessed something amazing.<\/p>\n

The next day was the 100 fly and all the talk on the deck was a quote from Chad Le Clos<\/strong> saying how he went a time that Phelps hadn\u2019t done in four years so \u201che can be quiet now.\u201d The deck was packed. I was in about the fourth row behind the lane one fence. A few of my teammates said they were going to try to watch the meet upstairs, but there wasn\u2019t any room up there. Everyone was packed in to see what Phelps would do. When he touched in the world\u2019s fastest time, it was spectacular to see. He got even more excited than he did when he won the 200. For the first time in quite a while, it looked like Phelps was legitimately enjoying swimming again. Something I hadn\u2019t seen him do since about 2008.<\/p>\n

The next night was the 200 IM. I had to warm up during the finals session and I made sure I was done with my workout before Phelps swam. When I walked onto the deck to watch him swim, I couldn\u2019t even stand by the bleachers because it was so packed. I then moved to the benches behind the lanes. When I saw he was under world record pace, I started to freak out. When would be the next time I would witness a world record? I then committed one of my pet peeves and started taking Snapchat videos of Phelps swimming because I wanted to savor the moment (for 24 hours).<\/p>\n

The entire pool deck was silent, aside from deafening cheers when Phelps’ head popped up for breathes during breaststroke. Everyone was hoping they\u2019d see a world record. When he just missed it, I was disappointed I couldn\u2019t tell my Snapchat friends I just saw a world record. But when I went back to finish my warm up, I started to soak in what I had witnessed over the last three days.<\/p>\n

The greatest swimmer in the world gave us a performance like we had not seen since his (so-called) prime. After 2010, I didn\u2019t think Phelps would be the same swimmer. I even said a few weeks before Nationals that I felt bad for kids nowadays because they have no idea how good Phelps really was in 2007 and 2008. But those kids saw that again in San Antonio, and to see that in person– that was special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
