By Temarie Tomley, Swimming World College Intern
\n<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Like most swimmers, I\u2019ve been counting down the days until the Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska. There has been a countdown on my phone that now says only three weeks and\u00a0323,633 seconds until it all begins. I\u2019ve also had the Omaha pool set as my phone’s wallpaper for over a year and a half now– it\u2019s crazy to think it\u2019s almost upon us.<\/p>\n

Most swimmers who qualified are fine tuning and race-prepping for Trials. It\u2019s an exciting time for any swimmer whether going to Trials or their own championship meet.<\/p>\n

For myself and my college teammates, our professionalism increases with Trials just around the corner. This means that we are focusing even more intensely on what\u2019s best for us as swimmers.<\/p>\n

It means taking that extra time before or after practice to do things such as roll out and stretch. It means getting the work done right and really paying attention to stroke technique, hitting heart rates, race rates, stroke counts, breathing patterns, and pace times every practice.<\/p>\n

Granted, every person\u2019s preparation is different. Some people are still trying to get their Trials cuts, while others are training hard looking towards Trials or even the Olympics. When it comes down to it, you do what you need to do. You know your body best and know how best to prepare, whether it\u2019s getting really focused or keeping it light and fun. There\u2019s no right or wrong way to train as long as you\u2019re confident in what you are doing going into the meet.<\/p>\n

I was able talk to a few talented swimmers from around the country about how they are preparing for peak performance at Olympic Trials:<\/p>\n

Bridget Blood<\/strong>, a rising senior swimmer at the University of Alabama, will attend her second Olympic Trials this summer. Her main focus over the next few weeks is racing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe past few months have just really been grinding and building a good base to taper, so I\u2019m really looking forward to stepping up and swimming some fast 100s and 200s and putting together four good 50 splits for my 200 breast,\u201d Blood said.<\/p>\n

Unlike Blood, who is training at her college pool, some swimmers are leaving their usual training environments and going to a place with a little less oxygen– the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. It is common for swimmers to go and train at the OTC before big meets to reap the benefits of altitude training.<\/p>\n

Michael Phelps<\/strong>, Missy Franklin<\/strong>, and Conor Dwyer<\/strong> are just a few notables who are currently training there. Also joining this elite training group with Coach Bob Bowman<\/strong> is Jay Litherland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Litherland, a junior for the University of Georgia this fall, told me a little about what he\u2019s doing to prepare.<\/p>\n

\u201cAltitude training in Colorado Springs with the very best in the sport is a feeling like no other,\u201d Litherland said. \u201cIt motivates me to race them in the pool and it also helps me think about the small things such as mental training, recovery, and getting the right nutrition leading up to trials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focusing on things outside of the pool can have a big effect on what\u2019s going on in the pool.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin\u2019s team is just now leaving the OTC. Chase Kinney<\/strong>, a rising senior for Wisconsin, told me a little about what her team is doing to prepare for Trials after getting back from high altitude. \u201cWe are now focusing on sharpening up and getting ready to swim fast. All the hard training is done, so now we\u2019re looking forward to the fun part of the summer,\u201d Kinney said.<\/p>\n

This summer is especially fun for swimmers as all the greatest athletes begin coming together to race and compete. And it is not just elite and college swimmers who are looking towards Trials.<\/p>\n

Club teams are also taking all the necessary steps to best prepare.\u00a0Matthew Marquardt<\/strong>\u00a0swims for the Mercy HealthPlex Seawolves club team in Cincinnati, Ohio and will be joining Princeton University\u2019s team in the fall. This upcoming Trials will be his first. “While the main goal is to have fun and gain experience for the future, I want to be able to compete,” Marquardt said. “The main focus right now is on pace, stroke tempo, and leg endurance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swimmers at all levels all around the country are getting ready! So with only three weeks and 323,633\u00a0seconds left, what are you doing to prepare? Whether you are going to swim, watch, or support teammates, this is the time to get the details right!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
