The Naval Academy announced today that three-time Olympic Gold Medalist Rowdy Gaines<\/strong> will serve as the analyst on the video stream of the Army-Navy swimming and diving meet that will be contested Dec. 10<\/span><\/span> in Lejuene Hall.\u00a0 The 5 p.m.<\/span><\/span> meet will be streamed for free on the Patriot League Network via NavySports.com.<\/p>\n

Admission is free to attend the meet in the 1,000-seat facility on The Yard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been broadcasting swimming for 30 years, including six Olympic Games, but I have never had a higher honor than to serve as an analyst for the Army-Navy dual meet this December,\u201d said Gaines.\u00a0 \u201cTo be in an arena with so many amazing athletes and, more importantly, heroes is humbling to say the least.\u201d<\/p>\n

A native of Florida, Gaines attended Auburn where he totaled eight NCAA event titles and 22 All-America certificates.\u00a0 After initially qualifying for the boycotted 1980 U.S. Olympic Team, Gaines qualified for the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.\u00a0 He would set an Olympic record in winning the 100 freestyle final and earn two more Gold Medals as a member of victorious 400 freestyle and 400 medley relay teams.<\/p>\n

The 1981 World Swimmer of the Year is a member of both the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame and the International Swimming Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Gaines has served as the swimming analyst as part of NBC\u2019s Olympic broadcasts since the 1992 Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is both an honor and a thrill to have Rowdy attend and call the meet,\u201d said Navy men\u2019s swimming head coach Bill Roberts<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u201cHe is one of the great ambassadors for competitive swimming and diving as well as aquatics as a whole.\u00a0 We look at this meet as a real showcase for not only the swimmers and divers competing for both teams, but for the sport as a whole.\u00a0 His being here only elevates the stature of the signature meet on our schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRowdy is a legend in the swimming world,\u201d said Navy women\u2019s swimming head coach John Morrison<\/strong>, \u201cand to have him on hand to announce one of the premiere sports rivalries in the country is awesome.\u00a0 There is always heightened energy and emotion at any Army-Navy competition.\u00a0 Now you add to that Rowdy\u2019s enthusiasm for aquatic sports and just the excitement of the competition of both teams and this will be a meet for the record books.\u00a0 There is no doubt his voice will make it a terrific experience for fans of Army West Point, Navy and the sport of swimming and diving who will be watching around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Longtime Navy announcer Pete Medhurst<\/strong> will partner alongside Gaines on the video stream.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs excited as I am to work with Rowdy as a broadcaster with having seen and admired his work on the world stage, I\u2019m even happier for the student-athletes who will have one of the greatest of all time in the pool talk about the work they are doing,\u201d said Medhurst.\u00a0 \u201cThis is a great opportunity for us at Navy to have someone of his renown be part of the broadcast.\u201d<\/p>\n
