Breeja Larson, New York Breakers. <\/b><\/em>In the lead-up to the first International Swimming League pro-team season, Swimming World will look at some of the pioneers of a new chapter unfolding in the sport. Today: The resurgent national champion.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pioneers Of Pro-Team Swimming<\/h4>\n

\n\u2022 Ian Finnerty<\/a>

\n\u2022 Hali Flickinger<\/a><\/p>\n

When the International Swimming League was officially announced, Breeja Larson<\/strong> was taking a break from the sport.<\/p>\n

Years of uneven results had the 2012 Olympian contemplating retirement.<\/p>\n

But just a few months later, Larson claimed a national championship in her return and will be part of the first ISL season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I took my break, I wasn\u2019t super positive if I was going to come back. But that is when the ISL came out. I was bummed because I wasn\u2019t sure I would be able to be a part of it since I wasn\u2019t swimming,\u201d Larson told Swimming World<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That all changed at nationals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite being back in the water for a matter of months, Larson won the 100-meter breaststroke national title with a stunning time of 1:06.78.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was honestly great validation,\u201d Larson said. \u201cI was kind of nervous. I told the coaches that if this summer didn\u2019t go well, I might not want to do another year of it.\u00a0The coaches didn\u2019t put any time goals on for me. They just wanted to see how I felt in the water. I don\u2019t think I have gone that fast since 2014. Going that fast, only with six months of real training, gave me a real confidence boost. I came back ready. I felt like I had a new vigor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am fired up for 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

Larson wasn\u2019t fired up for anything in the water a year ago.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAfter 2018 summer nationals, I thought I was going to be done. I was kind of sick of the sport,\u201d Breeja Larson said. \u201cIt was pretty tough. I was training with high school kids. I felt like I was missing out on professional development. It is pretty crucial to find a friend base. That was pretty tough. I was wondering whether I still had it. I felt like I was training better than ever and it didn\u2019t transfer into the actual races. Nationals in 2017, I got back on the national team, which was encouraging. In 2018, I barely missed the PanAmerican spot but a junior girl out-touched me and booted me off. It really bit.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Enough that she strongly considered retiring.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was 90 percent sure I wanted to be done but I just couldn\u2019t say it out loud. I called Aaron Peirsol<\/strong> and talked to him about burnout. He told me to take six months and that helped me to reset my brain,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Larson said she wished she took breaks earlier in her career, especially after turning pro.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got of \u2018Good for you\u2019 for getting back into it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt has been an interesting journey. I was on top of my game in 2012. I was kind of oblivious to pressure.\u00a0When I went pro in 2014, the pressure started to build. I had sponsors and chances to get bonus money and it became more about finding my paycheck than being part of the competitive sport.\u00a0In 2016, I put so much pressure on myself that I had to defend my Olympic trials title. I thought it would be embarrassing not to make it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very humbling experience. I had to look at the mental side of the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Larson worked on her mental game by getting back to the roots of the sport \u2014\u00a0working with kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love doing swim clinics. I thought maybe helping kids work on the mental side would help me think about it as well.\u00a0I will never be able to go back to the oblivious stage in the sport,\u201d she said. \u201cDoing swim clinics is one of my favorite jobs I ever have. The faster you swim, the more recognition you get, the more outreach you have. You can make a serious impact in the sport.\u00a0It is about finding the new path to enjoy the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Larson is excited to enjoy the path in the ISL with the New York Breakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am super excited. I think it offers a lot of validation for our training. It gives everyone a chance to be noticed. A lot of our top level swimmers, the media does a great job of showing. But this will get more looks for more people. There are a lot of pioneers in this sport,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The fact that the prize money base is equal for men and women also was a huge factor for Larson.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very co-ed sport,\u201d she said. \u201cIf it were known that men were getting more, it wouldn\u2019t fly. We are at the same events as the men. I am excited for the racing. The fact that the ISL covers everyone\u2019s travel is a huge bonus. That is the biggest thing. It is hard to get funding to go to World Cup events and get that experience against international swimmers. It makes everything a little more real.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the short-course meters makes it a different vibe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they planned it really well,\u201d she said. \u201cIt will be fun to go best times, which probably won\u2019t be too hard for some of the Americans because we don\u2019t race short-course meters as much.\u00a0Short course is really nice because it is a little more fun than business. That adds a fun spark to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Larson will be changing training sites as well, joining Dave Salo<\/strong> at USC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI represent NYAC but I swim with Phoenix Swim Club. Next week, I will join Dave Salo at USC. That will be a really big change. Dave is a phenomenal breaststroke coach,\u201d she said. \u201cI am just excited to be around more swimmers my age. Our group in Phoenix kind of dispersed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Larson will be swimming with pros her own age and will continue to work on her strength. Larson was noticeably chiseled at nationals.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWorking more sprint based than mid distance made a big difference.\u00a0Working on fast-twitch muscles,\u201d she said. \u201cI started growing and that made a difference in my training, aerobically.\u00a0 I started eating a lot less carbs. I like eating clean.\u00a0For breakfast, I would play the produce game with eggs and fruit and veggies.\u00a0Protein and produce.\u00a0I think there are a lot of really strong swimmers, they really aren\u2019t as lean as they might want to be.\u00a0A lot of strength is hidden on a lot of people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Larson\u2019s isn\u2019t hidden anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the mentality of wanting to beat the guys on my team, that mentality pushed me to the next level,\u201d she said. \u201cI worked so hard for the physique I ended up with.\u201d<\/p>\n

That could be the difference for Larson heading into 2020 \u2014\u00a0that and her mentality.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly you can reach your potential. If you believe your potential is good enough to make it,\u201d she said. \u201cI am trying really hard to not pay attention to everyone else\u2019s times. But I know what my potential can be and I am excited for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
