By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bob Bowman<\/strong> and David Marsh<\/strong> stood in front of a crowd of the country\u2019s top swim coaches, who all stood and applauded. Marsh and Bowman were returning to give the keynote address at the American Swim Coaches Association World Clinic in Ft. Lauderdale after having just presided over one of the signature efforts in Olympic swimming history.<\/p>\n

Prognosticators forecasted doom and gloom for Team USA after a sluggish performance at the World Championships in 2015, where American swimmers won just 23 total medals\u2014and only eight gold\u2014in their worst showing at that meet since 1994.<\/p>\n

Entering the Rio Games, an American held the top time in the world in just five of 26 individual events. The U.S. team had just over a month to get things straightened out in time for the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

They did. The U.S. won 33 medals in Rio, a record-tying 16 of them gold\u2014half of the events on the schedule. But before the team even got to Rio or even pre-meet training camps in San Antonio and then Atlanta, everyone went home. For a full week.<\/p>\n

Swimmers, coaches and staff went their separate ways from Omaha July 5 and met back up six days later deep in the heart of Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually felt like a normal human being,\u201d Bowman said, noting that he often finds it incredibly difficult to come back to Earth after an emotional, stressful Trials.<\/p>\n

But by the first day of camp, the swimmers had figured out their travel logistics and handled their media commitments and even returned to intense training.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very impressed how our coaches came in with a solid plan,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t just what we were doing tomorrow\u2014this fits into what\u2019s going to happen next week on this day and the day after and then at the meet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowman and Marsh both felt the excited vibes among the team when there were swift performances in practice\u2014most notably Katie Ledecky<\/strong> keeping up with Jordan Wilimovsky<\/strong> on a series of \u201cinfamous\u201d 100s on 1:20\u2014and then when the team moved onto Atlanta, it gelled.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s team figured to depend heavily on rookies\u2014more than two-thirds of the pool squad had never competed in an Olympics before\u2014but they had plenty of guidance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Olympic Trials, as different personalities were making the team, it was this all-star, team-oriented checklist of people that kept qualifying,\u201d Marsh said, specifically citing David Plummer<\/strong>, Elizabeth Beisel<\/strong>, Allison Schmitt<\/strong> and Cammile Adams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then there was this handful of folks that we didn\u2019t know very well. They came in kicking the door a little bit. They wanted in on the action a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those veterans helped make clear to the rookies that simply being content with making the team would not be good enough. It was medals or bust.<\/p>\n

On evenings when athletes would be competing in finals, they would have to carry to the pool the case containing the Nike uniform designated for use in medal ceremonies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can guarantee if they carried those uniforms over there, they wanted to wear it on the podium!\u201d Marsh said.<\/p>\n

And each of the swimmers on the team had a keen sense of what they were representing\u2014their country, but also the specific individuals that they beat out to earn the right to swim in Rio.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you imagine David Plummer getting through that race and not acknowledging Matt Grevers<\/strong> for making him better? That happened in almost every event. You were swimming for that person that might have finished a little bit behind you,\u201d Marsh said.<\/p>\n

The swimmers named to the team bonded over that common goal of winning medals for the USA, and so did the coaches.<\/p>\n

Bowman recounted an encounter with assistant coach Ray Looze<\/strong>, with whom he had almost no relationship prior to the camp, early in the morning soon after they arrived in San Antonio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI coached against Ray Looze when I was at Michigan and he was at Indiana. I said maybe two words to him [in four years], and it wasn\u2019t nice,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cWe text every day now. We\u2019re a lot alike\u2014I think that\u2019s why we didn\u2019t like each other!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowman\u2019s first experience as head coach of an Olympic team was made special by the relationships he built and all the medals he helped the U.S. team earn. But Wednesday night in Ft. Lauderdale, when the subject switched to Bowman\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and his Brazilian swan song, Bowman\u2019s eyes lit up.<\/p>\n

Michael Phelps<\/strong> relished every minute of his fifth Olympic Games, and so did his coach. Bowman and Marsh both noted that Phelps went out of his way to take on a major role in the team dynamic and become a leader for the younger members on the team.<\/p>\n

For the first time in his decade-and-a-half on the National Team, Phelps was named a team captain\u2014he received the most votes of anybody, Marsh pointed out.<\/p>\n

For Phelps, this Games was different. This wasn\u2019t the Phelps that broke records at a machine-like rate every time he touched the water. He was not even perfect.<\/p>\n

But Phelps won six medals in Rio, five of them gold, and his eyes watered as he watched the American flag raised in his honor one last time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, his swimming was better a year ago\u2014there are reasons for that,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cWho gives a crap?\u201d<\/p>\n

And now, Phelps says he\u2019s done. Plenty of others from that Olympic team\u2014based on past statistics, a majority of them\u2014will not make it to another Games. Much in the sport will change in the next four, eight and 12 years.<\/p>\n

But these 45 will always be Olympians, and their efforts have inspired youths around the country to get involved in swimming. USA Swimming\u2019s registration numbers will undoubtedly receive the standard post-Olympic bump this year\u2014and maybe one of these new recruits will win an Olympic medal for the U.S. in 2028 or 2032.<\/p>\n

Marsh\u2019s message to his peers Wednesday evening: stoke their fires.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose summer league kids coming into your program, they have a dream. Keep that dream alive! Don\u2019t stifle it! Don\u2019t make them swim 8 x 200 on the second day or put them next to someone who will lap them 18 times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Olympic team came together in Omaha, San Antonio and Atlanta and ultimately dominated in Rio. The pieces to future teams have only begun to be crafted, and those young boys and girls will have quite a standard to live up to. Eventually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
