THIS special Monday edition of <i>The Morning Swim Show<\/i> features an interview with George Block, past president of the American Swimming Coaches Association.<\/p>\n<p>At the recent ASCA world clinic, Block talked with host Brent Rutemiller about the controversy surrounding the availability of the new swimsuits and the economic issues that ensue. Block said the legislation, which was recently passed by USA Swimming restricting the type of swimsuits kids can wear, is becoming a heated battle.<\/p>\n<p><object type=application\/x-shockwave-flash data=http:\/\/blip.tv\/scripts\/flash\/showplayer.swf?enablejs=true&#038;file=http%3A\/\/blip.tv\/rss\/flash\/1326373&#038;feedurl=http%3A\/\/morningswimshow.blip.tv\/rss\/&#038;autostart=false&#038;brandname=SwimmingWorld.TV&#038;brandlink=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com width=400 height=320 allowfullscreen=true id=showplayer><param name=movie value=http:\/\/blip.tv\/scripts\/flash\/showplayer.swf?enablejs=true&#038;file=http%3A\/\/blip.tv\/rss\/flash\/1326373&#038;feedurl=http%3A\/\/morningswimshow.blip.tv\/rss\/&#038;autostart=false&#038;brandname=SwimmingWorld.TV&#038;brandlink=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com \/><param name=quality value=best \/><param name=wmode value=transparent \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>In this interview, filmed five weeks before the USA Swimming decision, Block said parents, swimmers and coaches are going to debate what he calls an &quot;innocuous&quot; rule. He added that he fears that the swimsuit prices could create another barrier into the sport for lower-income families in a time when USA Swimming is working hard to reach out to those communities.<\/p>\n<p>With the success of the Olympics creating a membership surge across the United States, Block talks about the reasons why a fall swimming season in high school could help even water polo, allow high schools to take advantage of the post-Olympic bump and help kids in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p><font color=red><a href=http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=280213313>Subscribe to this show via iTunes!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To purchase this or previous episodes of <i>The Morning Swim Show<\/i>, to send comments or show suggestions, <a href=mailto:mail@morningswimshow.com>click here<\/a> to send an email.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase copies of our Ready Room interviews, <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/swimshop\/shop.asp?iCatId=91>click here.<\/a><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOENIX, Arizona, October 6.
