About Rowdy Gaines<\/h2>\n

As a sprint freestyler, Ambrose \u201cRowdy\u201d Gaines became a legend when he overcame the disappointment of the 1980 Olympic boycott to win three gold medals<\/a> at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.<\/p>\n

Then, in 1988, Rowdy got involved in Masters swimming when the legendary Tiger Holmes<\/strong> asked him to be a part of his Holmes Lumberjax Masters team and join them on the trip to the FINA Masters World Championships in Australia.<\/p>\n

In 1991, Rowdy\u2019s athletic pursuits in Masters Swimming came to a halt, when the swimming champion was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare condition in which a person\u2019s immune system attacks part of their peripheral nervous system.\u00a0 He made a full recovery after only two months of treatment, eventually integrating swimming into his physical therapy routine.<\/p>\n

In Masters swimming, Rowdy has broken 26 FINA Masters World Records (19 long course and 7 short course), 24 individual USMS records and has competed in four different age groups. Gaines has been in the Top Ten 17 times and he has had 57 swims ranked in the top ten.\u00a0 Rowdy has attended only two FINA World Championships, and only one, swimming in individual events, so he has accumulated most of his points through world records, world rankings and top ten standings.<\/p>\n

The longevity of some of Rowdy\u2019s world records is incredible.\u00a0 His longest standing world record of his 200m freestyle record in the 30-34 age group that was set in 1989 is still standing after 30 years.<\/p>\n

Rowdy recently turned 60 and is hoping to swim in future Masters meets. Every year, he hosts the Rowdy Gaines Masters Classic<\/a>, a Masters swim meet held every October in Orlando.\u00a0 This year will be the 11th annual.<\/p>\n

In 2018, SEC Network aired \u201cRowdy,\u201d an hour-long feature documentary by ESPN\u2019s Hannah Storm<\/strong> that highlighted Gaines\u2019 career in the 1980\u2019s, growing up in Florida, swimming at Auburn for Eddie Reese\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Richard Quick<\/strong>, missing out on competing in the 1980 Olympics, and ultimately winning an Olympic gold in 1984.\u00a0Rowdy\u00a0<\/em>was a great refresher on\u00a0Rowdy Gaines\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>swimming career and was a very well-done documentary.<\/p>\n
