Age Group Swimmer of the Month<\/span><\/h3>\n

Up & Comers: Scarlet Aquatics’ Richard Poplawski<\/span><\/h1>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Richard Poplawski of Scarlet Aquatics (BMS Jersey City Division, N.J.), is a force to be reckoned with, especially when it comes to the individual medley. The 14-year-old freshman at Seton Hall Preparatory School recently broke his own 13-14 New Jersey state record in the 400 yard IM (3:59.53) at Scarlet Aquatics\u2019 \u201cFast Times\u201d meet this past November. In early 2019, Poplawski set NAG records in both the 11-12 200 and 400 meter IM (2:13.59, 4:42.54).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been fortunate to work with Richie starting this past September,\u201d says Scarlet Aquatics coach, Kenneth O\u2019Reilly. Previously, Poplawaksi was coached by Mohamed Abdelaal. \u201cHe\u2019s a great kid, works hard and gets along with his teammates,\u201d says O\u2019Reilly. \u201cRichie is \u2018one of the boys,\u2019 and he has a great time laughing and socializing with his friends and teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of the pool, Poplawksi is a dedicated student. He is in advanced placement and honors courses, and was accepted into his high school\u2019s Seton Scholars program. Students must score in the top 5% on their entrance exam and demonstrate academic achievement in middle school to receive this honor. Additionally, Poplawksi plays the cello and volunteers at his grandmother\u2019s senior residence center.<\/p>\n

SWIMMING WORLD: WHAT IS THE BEST THING YOU DO IN SWIMMING?<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nRICHARD POPLAWSKI:<\/strong><\/span> It\u2019s my ability to stay focused and push myself to meet my goals. I work with my coaches to set goals and put my best into all my practices to reach those goals. When I\u2019m racing somebody, I try to power ahead of my competitors and keep myself at least an arm\u2019s length ahead of them.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/span> WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TOUGHEST WORKOUTS\/SETS YOU\u2019VE DONE?<\/span><\/strong>
\nRP:<\/strong><\/span> Some of the toughest sets I\u2019ve done by far were during my training trips, especially on the last day. The coach would have us do 60 x 50s fly long course on 50 seconds. And I would always push myself as hard as I could to try and keep up with the older, faster kids on my team. After completing those sets, I felt super-energized, but equally tired.<\/p>\n

SW:<\/strong> WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR?<\/strong><\/span><\/span>
\nRP:<\/strong><\/span> I\u2019d like to qualify for Olympic Trials. I\u2019ve been training really hard since we\u2019ve been able to get back into the pool, and I feel confident, with the help of my coaches, that I will be able to bring my A-game when the time comes to compete. Also, I\u2019m looking forward to representing my school, Seton Hall Prep. My school has some of the top swimmers in the state, and I can\u2019t wait to compete at championship meets and take down some meet records with my teammates.<\/p>\n

SW: WHO IS SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO IN SWIMMING… AND WHY?<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nRP:<\/strong><\/span> It\u2019s difficult to pick just one swimmer, but if I had to choose, it would be Michael Phelps. Ever since I first swam the 400 IM and 200 fly, I have aspired to be just like him. I feel that the longer distance swims take a great deal of stamina, endurance and physical and mental training. And through the years, I\u2019ve trained my body and mind to excel in those events. When I race the 400 IM and 200 fly, I get into a mindset that is unlike any other event that I race.<\/p>\n

FEATURES<\/p>\n

012<\/span> THE PRIDE OF GIRLS\u2019 POLO IN THE GATEWAY CITY<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael Randazzo<\/strong>
\nWhen COVID-19 lockdowns last spring stopped polo, Rob Peglar and Abby VerMeer didn\u2019t hesitate: they focused on getting girls water polo untracked in the Gateway City. The result: the St. Louis Lions, the city\u2019s first all-girls team.<\/p>\n

014<\/span> ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Dan D\u2019Addona<\/strong>
\nThe popular motto of The Musketeers, built on supporting each other as well as the group, is just one of many reasons why the University of Texas remains among the strongest in men\u2019s college swimming and diving.<\/p>\n

020<\/span> READY FOR A BREAKTHROUGH<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Andy Ross<\/strong>
\nMelanie Margalis is an Olympic relay gold medalist and a three-time relay champion at Worlds, but a podium finish in an individual event has eluded her on the world\u2019s biggest stage. After ranking No. 1 in the 400 IM and No. 3 in the shorter medley for 2020, her turn to win a medal for the United States could take place this year in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

022<\/span> PERSEVERANCE AND HARD\u00a0 WORK PAY OFF<\/strong><\/span>
\nby David Rieder<\/strong>
\nAfter not qualifying for Australia\u2019s Olympic team in 2012, Emma McKeon was ready to quit…but over the next several months, she had a change of heart and understood what was necessary to compete at a higher level. Since then, she has become a significant international force, a consistent podium presence and one of the world\u2019s most impactful relay swimmers.<\/p>\n

026<\/span> TAKEOFF TO TOKYO:\u00a0TARNISHED GOLD<\/strong><\/span>
\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nEast Germany\u2019s Kristin Otto will long be remembered as a highly decorated athlete, and for turning in one of the greatest Olympic outings in history, winning six gold medals at the 1988 Games. But because of the links to her and performance-enhancing drugs, what she accomplished\u2014before and in Seoul\u2014will always be tainted.<\/p>\n

029<\/span> WHO \u201cSHOT\u201d THE\u00a0SWIMMERS? (Part 2)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Bruce Wigo<\/strong>
\nShortly after the 1936 Olympics in a lab in Boston, Harold \u201cDoc\u201d Edgerton, an electrical engineering professor at MIT, began tinkering with equipment that would change the way science explains natural phenomena\u2014and with it, the art of aquatic sports photography\u2014forever.<\/p>\n

\nby Dawn Weatherwax<\/strong>
\nEach year really does build onto another\u2014nutrition is an imperative part of the process, even at an early age.<\/p>\n

COACHING<\/p>\n

016<\/span> SELLING PROCESS TO\u00a0SWIMMERS (Part 2)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael J. Stott<\/strong>
\nIn 1993, psychologist Anders Ericsson wrote that greatness wasn\u2019t born, but grown. Fifteen years later, author Malcolm Gladwell suggested that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in a skill or field. Known by the term, \u201cprocess,\u201d swim coaches use that learning curve to improve the performance of their swimmers.<\/p>\n

036<\/span> SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: FREESTYLE TECHNIQUE FOR SPRINT AND DISTANCE (Part 2)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Rod Havriluk<\/strong>
\nOptimal freestyle technique for sprint and distance is identical with respect to the arm motion throughout the stroke cycle, but the arm coordination is different. While a swimmer can swim a wide range of velocities with opposition coordination, a swimmer will only achieve his\/her fastest velocity with superposition coordination.<\/p>\n

040<\/span> SPECIAL SETS: TRAINING THE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE\u2014THEN AND NOW<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael J. Stott<\/strong>
\nIn his lengthy career, Gregg Troy has mentored athletes of all ages and abilities, which has given him a unique perspective of how to prepare post-college grads for excellence at the international level.<\/p>\n
