\nA New Hope<\/span><\/h1>\n

by Dan D\u2019Addona<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>The COVID-19 pandemic has swept across the globe and changed the lives of everyone in the world. Now, there is some light at the end of the tunnel as the world struggles to find normalcy again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swimming pools are beginning to open up\u2014with new guidelines for safety\u2014and hope continues to grow within the sport. After the initial shock, months of altered routine along with many levels of frustration and even despair, things are starting to get better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are definitely seeing things happen. I am pretty optimistic,\u201d says Canada\u2019s Maggie MacNeil, a junior at the University of Michigan and gold medalist in the women\u2019s 100 fly at last summer\u2019s World Championships. \u201cIt definitely has been hard. It is definitely going to be interesting moving forward\u2014something that we are going to be talking about for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many swimmers took the time out of the water as a challenge to get stronger and do things they normally wouldn\u2019t have done if in-water training had remained status quo.<\/p>\n

The result could produce a group of stronger and faster swimmers as athletes now refocus for the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Social media has played an important role for the swimming world to remain close and stick together. They\u2019ve also been able to see what teammates and opponents around the world were doing to stay in shape, and the results have been wide and varied:<\/p>\n

\u2022 U.S. national champion Amy Bilquist, a 23-time All-American at the University of California, has been doing rapid pull-ups and finding unique outdoor places to exercise.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Swimmers who have never really included running in their training regimen have been going on regular runs now to keep up their endurance.<\/p>\n

\u2022 There\u2019s been more focus on improving core strength.<\/p>\n

Ky-lee Perry, a 10-time All-American at North Carolina State, says she has been working on her abs and has been running: \u201cWe do dryland basic ab workouts, Russian twists, burpees. I have been trying to still do sit-ups and push-ups. I am also trying to do some of my rehab stuff for my knee. The core is the main thing in swimming\u2014it works everything. Once you lose that, you slow down. I have a strong core, but it could always be stronger. That is how I am going to get where I want to be,\u201d says the senior sprinter.<\/p>\n
