Swim fans are fascinated by the lives of national teamers, but most fan thoughts revolve around races and what these world-class athletes do for fun. But what about those not-so-fun parts of making the World Championship team this summer?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re following any of the swimmers on the US roster, you know they\u2019re in a place that looks like a painting…of a dream…of heaven. Seriously. Croatia is one of the world\u2019s most beautiful countries, and the members of Team USA are living like (very fit) kings and queens in paradise. Yes, they\u2019re prepping to have serious speed once they launch into the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary in one week, but they sure have a scenic spot for their pre-meet prep.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matt Grevers<\/strong> had been to this ethereal resort city in Croatia before World Championships in 2015, so he was familiar with the setting and looking forward to the camp this go \u2018round. He woke up on the morning of his departure and had a delay notification (Side note: Matt is 6\u20198 so he literally does not fit in a typical airplane seat. For that reason, he does a lot of calling prior to flights to secure roomy exit row seats).<\/span><\/p>\n

The delay out of Salt Lake City was going to cause him to miss his connection in Amsterdam. He proactively got on the phone and was booked on an alternate flight plan, this time through Atlanta.\u00a0<\/span>So Tucson to Atlanta, Atlanta to Paris, Paris to Croatia. That sounded reasonable. Until his pilot announced the flight to Atlanta would take longer than usual because they needed to stop in Dallas to refuel.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Matt finally landed in Atlanta he was relieved to see his flight to Paris was delayed…he wouldn\u2019t miss his connection after all! But a five-hour delay was too much. There was no way was he making the Paris connection.\u00a0<\/span>Matt was going to plan on being stranded in Paris for 24 hours since there appeared to be only one flight per day out of Paris to Croatia.<\/span><\/p>\n

But then a helpful ticketing agent in Paris found a roundabout way of getting Matt to Croatia by Wednesday night with two stops. <\/span>He handed the tired American a ticket listing three flights: Paris to Rome, Rome to Split, Split to Zagreb. Then there would be a two-hour car ride to his final destination. The helpful agent failed to mention that his flight to Rome took off in 30 minutes. Matt booked it to the gate and made it on the plane and into a seat we\u2019ll call \u201cquaint\u201d. He had to side saddle or wing his knees out to fit.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, Matt was delirious and just laughed at how far off target he\u2019d gone to get to this resort town in Croatia.\u00a0<\/span>Rather than having two stops, Matt had stopped in six cities to get to Croatia. He made it to Zagreb, but it\u2019s no surprise that his bag did not. The airline said it would be delivered the following day. Matt trusted them. Silly Matt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bag did not make it. It seemed to be stuck in Paris or maybe Rome? No one knew. But Matt was grappling with how to get through the next month without his belongings. Most items were replaceable, but there were TYR racing suits in his bag that were sort of necessary\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of the lost bag, Matt\u2019s phone slipped out of his pocket on a bus ride and was never recovered. <\/span><\/p>\n

I FaceTimed him on Friday morning (he has an iPad, which has come in handy as a makeshift phone). He was borrowing Team USA gear from Nathan Adrian<\/strong>, probably the only guy on the roster he could share a wardrobe with. The team was supposed to match each day, so of course, Matt stuck out wearing the wrong outfits each day. He was on his last pair of contact lenses and he was in need of some extra boxers\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, the once-thought-gone bag made it to the team resort on Friday evening. <\/span>The big man exhaled. He\u2019d have racing suits and more than two pairs of boxers after all…and sight, thanks to extra contact lenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes we assume these athletes teleport over to their idyllic training grounds, where they eat Michelin-Star meals and train in the Adriatic Sea. All of the latter may be true, but Team USA hasn\u2019t figured out teleportation yet. I\u2019m sure Matt will be researching the method fervently after his saga to Croatia. Here\u2019s to smooth sailing and fast swimming for Team USA for the remainder of their time abroad!<\/span><\/p>\n
