PHOENIX, Arizona, October 11. WITH rumors swirling around the swimming community about Hayley Peirsol's potential retirement, SwimmingWorldMagazine.com<\/b> spoke with her coach Bob Bowman to get the inside scoop on the rumors.<\/p>\n

Coach Bowman, currently in Colorado Springs, Colo., for some meetings, explained that he would not completely rule out a return to swimming for Peirsol at some point.<\/p>\n

"She has been struggling with this decision for awhile," Bowman said. "I respect her decision, and the way she handled it. She really put a lot of thought into it. She took the second half of the summer to think about it, and she has decided to take a break from swimming to focus more on school and some other priorities. I'm not sure the door is 100-percent closed for a possible return, though."<\/p>\n

Peirsol's most recent success came during the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne when she earned a bronze medal in the 800-meter freestyle with a time of 8:26.41. She did so from lane one, with Kate Ziegler (8:18.52) and Laure Manaudou (8:18.80) finishing ahead of her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
