Stott<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>No matter what tomorrow or next year brings, one can hope that the benefits of summer league as we know them will persist.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The year 2020 will go down in history as a lifetime interrupted. Nothing before COVID-19 offers recent precedence. It is also unlikely that the future, including aquatics, will be as we once anticipated. And it remains to be seen how the summer ritual of organized recreational swimming, a staple for many coming-of-age adolescents, will play out in the days ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSummer league swimming is such a positive part of life\u2014and so many people do love it,\u201d says Jonathan Alford, president of the Midlakes Swim League in Greater Seattle. \u201cWe know it will be sorely missed if we are not able to swim, but we also know we will return with an even greater appreciation next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Franke Marsden is league coordinator for the 129-team (16,000+ kids) Atlanta Swim Association. He has made a career out of summer league swimming. \u201cGrowing up, it was such a big part of my life. I was a pool rat; I rode my bike to the pool and stayed there all day,\u201d he says. \u201cI have formed lifelong relationships through the experience, and it\u2019s what got me into competitive swimming in high school and college. And I backed into it as a career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSummer league is where the culture gets built. At ASA, we\u2019ve really tried to reinforce that culture\u2014the importance of having fun, good sportsmanship and a positive experience. Those are the principles we are trying to instill into these kids,\u201d says Marsden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSummer league is also where many children are first introduced to competitive swimming, maybe win early ribbons and then sign up for USA Swimming and begin their journey in year-round swimming. A lot of teaching skills and drills takes place at this level,\u201d says former Pine Crest head coach and 2012 ASCA Hall of Fame inductee Jay Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a perfect place for a young coach starting out to learn if he can teach and motivate young swimmers. That first season hooked me,\u201d he says. After five years at the Country Club of Virginia in Richmond, Va., Fitzgerald gave up his journalism aspirations and opted for a career that transported him through the storied programs at the Cincinnati Marlins and Santa Clara Swim Club before docking at Pine Crest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-august-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>To read more about swim life in Summer leagues,<br \/>\nCheck out the August 2020 Swimming World Magazine, <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>click here to download the full issue now!<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-august-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"442313\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-magazine-august-2020-issue-the-high-school-record-breakers-available-now\/sw-august-2020-the-record-breakers-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover-.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SW August 2020 The Record Breakers &#8211; Cover\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;SW August 2020 The Record Breakers &#8211; Cover&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--766x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-442313 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover-.jpg\" alt=\"SW August 2020 The Record Breakers - Cover\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover-.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--150x201.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--374x500.jpg 374w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SW-August-2020-The-Record-Breakers-Cover--533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Get <em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em> and <em>Swimming World Biweekly<\/em> FREE When You<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.swimmingworld.com\/collections\/donation-options\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1522345712821000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGfwbLD2OaI21g28efcR0DZZlQSOQ\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Become A Member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want More?

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. This month\u2019s article takes a look at two male disruptors who paved the way for professional swimming, Tom Jager and Matt Biondi.<\/p>\n<p>COACHING<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>012 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTIMAL MODEL FOR TECHNIQUE: PART VIII\u2014BODY BASE OF SUPPORT FOR BREASTSTROKE<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Rod Havriluk<\/strong><br \/>\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<p><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>033 SUMMER LEAGUE: HAVING FUN AND GETTING THE WORK DONE<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Michael J.
