Up & Comers: Schroeder YMCA’s Alana Berlin<\/span><\/h1>\n

By Shoshanna Rutemiller<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Spectrum<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alana Berlin of the Schroeder YMCA in Brown Deer, Wis., didn\u2019t let the COVID-19 pandemic bring her down. In fact, she came out of the pandemic even more focused and determined than ever before.<\/p>\n

The 13-year-old has been posting incredibly fast times since returning to racing in August. Her most notable swim was a blazing fast 54.53 100 yard backstroke that she swam at a dual meet, placing her in the top 100 all-time best 100 back swims for 13-14 year olds. Berlin also has swum three quick 50-100-200 freestyle times (23.38r, 53.11, 1:55.69).<\/p>\n

\u201cAlana is a very elite athlete,\u201d says Coach Chandler Lewis. \u201cShe is a sponge when it comes to learning, and she\u2019s always finding new ways to grow as an athlete. Coming out of quarantine, we noticed her love for swimming has grown, and it has helped her swim with confidence both in and out of practice. I believe she will continue to find success as she matures as an athlete.\u201d<\/p>\n

SWIMMING WORLD:<\/strong><\/span> WHAT IS THE BEST THING YOU DO IN SWIMMING?
\nALANA BERLIN:<\/span><\/strong> My favorite part of any stroke is the underwater kick. I like the feeling of moving under the water. When you catch the current just right, you feel like you can go forever!<\/p>\n

SW:<\/strong><\/span> WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TOUGHEST WORKOUTS\/SETS YOU\u2019VE DONE?
\nAB:<\/span><\/strong> So far I\u2019ve had two coaches. Both Coach Phil (Davies) and Coach Chandler (Lewis) have challenged me at every practice. The hardest set I can think of was probably a \u201cbest average set\u201d consisting of all-out 7x100s from the block.<\/p>\n

010<\/span> OPEN WATER SWIMMERS OF THE DECADE (2010-19)<\/span><\/strong>
\nby Andy Ross<\/strong>
\nSince the COVID-19 pandemic prevented Swimming World from naming Open Water Swimmers of the Year for 2020, the magazine, instead, takes a look at the top marathon athletes over the last 10 years.<\/p>\n

015<\/span> HIGHLIGHTING ISHOF\u2019S 1980 OLYMPIC EXHIBIT<\/span><\/strong>
\nby Bruce Wigo<\/strong>
\nAs we mark the 40th anniversary of the 1980 Olympic Games, much has been written and discussed about the impact on the athletes who were denied the opportunity to compete in Moscow. Lost in most of these discussions is the significance of the boycott to the Olympic movement, which is why, in 2014, the International Swimming Hall of Fame made it the subject of one of the largest permanent exhibits in its museum.<\/p>\n

018<\/span> OLYMPIC HISTORY WITHIN REACH<\/span><\/strong>
\nby David Rieder<\/strong>
\nDespite the global pandemic, the Olympic postponement and a coaching change, Italy\u2019s Gregorio Paltrinieri put together some of the best swimming of his career last summer in the 800 and 1500 meter freestyle as well as the 10K marathon. Come Tokyo 2021, he\u2019ll be trying to become the first swimmer ever to capture Olympic gold in both the pool and open water events.<\/p>\n

\nby Dan D\u2019Addona<\/strong>
\nThroughout Allison Schmitt\u2019s illustrious swimming career, the three-time Olympian and eight-time Olympic medalist has experienced success and has dealt with her share of struggles. Now 30, she remains goal-oriented and continues to be one of the world\u2019s elite athletes.<\/p>\n

026<\/span> THE TRUE OLYMPIC SPIRIT<\/span><\/strong>
\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nPierre de Coubertin developed the Olympic motto that stressed athletic prowess, but he also said, \u201cThe most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but taking part.\u201d That description fit Eric the Eel Moussambani perfectly when he swam all by himself in Heat 1 of the men\u2019s 100 meter freestyle at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and finished in slightly less than two minutes!<\/p>\n
