A Voice For The Sport: Male and Female High School Swimmer of the Year Tradition Temporarily Suspended<\/span><\/h1>\n
By Craig Lord<\/span><\/p>\n
The tradition at Swimming World is to use the August and September issues of the magazine to pay tribute to the high school level of the sport. The August edition has long recognized its Male and Female High School Swimmers of the Year. The list of past winners is dotted with Olympians, including gold medalists Matt Grevers and Katie Ledecky.<\/p>\n
In September, the focus typically shifts to the best scholastic teams, with Swimming World recognizing its mythical national champions\u2014public and private. Additionally, a mock heat sheet runs with the package that promotes the top 16 high school performers\/relays in each of the events contested in scholastic competition.<\/p>\n
This year, however, we made the difficult decision as an editorial staff to temporarily suspend our tradition. The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a crushing blow to the world, evident in the more than half-million deaths caused by the virus. On a smaller scale when compared to the loss of life, the pandemic has disrupted day-to-day activities in a significant way.<\/p>\n
Although most states had completed their swim seasons by the time COVID-19 caused a mid-March shutdown of normal routines, some states found themselves substantially affected. For instance, Pennsylvania made it only halfway through its Class AAA Championships, with its Class AA competition wiped out entirely. Pennsylvania is regarded as one of the premier states in the country, both for top-tier talent and depth.<\/p>\n
While Pennsylvania\u2019s state championship meets were interrupted, California had its campaign completely short-circuited, leaving some of the nation\u2019s elite high school standouts without an opportunity to shine on the scholastic stage. Like Pennsylvania, California is also known for its splendid combination of stars and depth.<\/p>\n
Through the course of a year, Swimming World Magazine offers its readership a variety of coverage. There are columns on pressing issues in the sport. There is coverage of pre-eminent competitions, such as the Olympic Games, World Championships and European Champs. There are monthly features that investigate the careers and lives of established veterans and rising stars. There are regular pieces that provide analysis and examine moments in history.<\/p>\n
For all that content, though, it is fair to say that the special high school issues mean a lot to the staff\u2014and to our readers. They have held a special place on the calendar for decades and will continue to be a high-profile exercise of the magazine in the years to come. But this year, given the impact of COVID-19 and in the interest of fairness, we felt there was no other option but to hit the pause button on our traditional approach.<\/p>\n
When we gathered as an editorial staff to discuss the high school dilemma, the initial opinion went something like this: \u201cIf we name swimmers of the year and identify mythical national champs, it would be an unfair decision to athletes and teams from states such as Pennsylvania and California.\u201d We also took this viewpoint: \u201cHanding out watered-down awards would be less appreciated by those honored, and that is a path we would prefer not to travel.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a tough call made to temporarily shelve our individual and team awards, we quickly moved on to this question: \u201cHow can we still honor the high school season?\u201d We believe our answer is more than satisfactory.<\/p>\n
For this August issue, our writers put together articles that looked at the following topics:<\/p>\n
\u2022 How COVID-19 affected the high school season
\n\u2022 Who set national high school records before racing was halted
\n\u2022 Which swimmers have gone from swimmer of the year accolades to the Olympics
\n\u2022 Where the top recruits are headed for their collegiate careers.<\/p>\n
Next month, in lieu of naming mythical national champions, we will look at some of the greatest high school programs in history\u2014public and private. More, we\u2019ll look at the current forces, and why they have maintained supremacy.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, the suspension of our individual and team awards will not be replicated in the future. And know that we are counting down to naming our next swimmers of the year and national champs.<\/p>\n

014 OPPORTUNITY LOST<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Dan D\u2019Addona<\/strong>
\nHigh school swimming has multiple seasons with roughly 130 state\/sectional\/divisional high school championship meets held as early as October or as late as May of the following year. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in mid-March, some high schools had already completed their championships, others saw their season canceled…while still others were interrupted during the middle of their meet! Here are a few examples of how the coronavirus affected high school swimming.<\/p>\n

\nby Bruce Wigo<\/strong>
\nAs explained in last month\u2019s issue,sprinters are considered a different breed of swimmer. They\u2019re not just free spirits, but they seem to be rule breakers and troublemakers of the sport. In July, Swimming World featured two of swimming\u2019s notorious female rebels, Eleanor Holm and Dawn Fraser.

012 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTIMAL MODEL FOR TECHNIQUE: PART VIII\u2014BODY BASE OF SUPPORT FOR BREASTSTROKE<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Rod Havriluk<\/strong>
\nThe torso is the swimmer\u2019s base of support (BOS). During a stroke cycle of a typical breaststroker, excess vertical motion of the shoulder distorts the BOS, which compromises the ability to maximize propulsion and, as a result, limits swimming velocity. This article offers suggestions for how to stabilize the BOS to generate more propulsion to swim faster.<\/p>\n
