Healthcare workers have been pushed to their max. Many schools are operating in a hybrid form. Businesses\u2014large and small\u2014have faltered.<\/p>\n<p>As the vaccine to counter COVID-19 is slowly distributed, we can only hope this two-prong step is successful in neutralizing what has been a global tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>As the world seeks to move out from under the COVID Cloud, adaptation has proven to be a key trait in taking a step forward. And with the Olympic Games seemingly set to unfold in Tokyo this summer (following a one-year delay), our sport has demonstrated a measure of flexibility that deserves applause.<\/p>\n<p>How can we provide athletes the chance to pursue their dreams during a pandemic? It is a question that had to be answered by sporting officials around the world. And swimming has operated in fine form by seeking out thoughtful and creative ways not to further punish individuals who have dedicated years of their lives to their sport.<\/p>\n<p>A decision by Swimming Canada in late January nominated six athletes\u2014five women and one man\u2014to represent the Maple Leaf in Tokyo. With COVID-19 disrupting training and requiring significant restrictions on the Canadian Olympic Trials, the nation\u2019s governing body for the sport opted for a path that honored the efforts of its top stars and alleviated worry, such as if COVID-19 struck during the qualifying process.<\/p>\n<p>More, Swimming Canada still intends to hold a qualifying competition for those seeking to join the anointed six\u2014Penny Oleksiak, Kylie Masse, Maggie MacNeil, Taylor Ruck, Sydney Pickrem and Markus Thormeyer. If an athlete performs at a high-enough level at Trials, he\/she will also earn a ticket to Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is being presented allows us to have more options in an uncertain situation,\u201d said John Atkinson, Swimming Canada\u2019s High Performance Director. \u201cIt gives us greater ability to nominate the best teams to represent Canada, and it gives the athletes greater ability to train and compete to make Team Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not long after the Canadian announcement, USA Swimming unveiled its plans for a two-tier version of its Olympic Trials. After much deliberation, USA Swimming revealed a format that will consist of Wave I and Wave II competitions. The top two finishers in each event in Wave I will advance to the Wave II meet, which will feature the top athletes and serve as the selection event for Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Behind a little creativity, USA Swimming developed a setup that will give more than a thousand athletes the chance to race at the Olympic Trials, while also ensuring that the best of the best are advantageously positioned to chase berths to the Olympic Games. Most important, the format respects the seriousness of COVID-19 and the need for social distancing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe figured out this was the best option and that it still allowed all athletes to have a crack at the Olympic Trials, which, for many athletes, is the pinnacle of their careers,\u201d said Mike Unger, USA Swimming\u2019s Chief Operating Officer. \u201cBut it also then allowed us to pick the best Olympic team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Swim Ireland used its discretion to grant Shane Ryan and Darragh Green Olympic bids. In the days ahead, it would not be surprising to see additional governing bodies follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how the next few months unfold, and whether there is a need for further adjustments by governing bodies around the world. If nothing else, some of the early adaptations we have seen suggest open-minded approaches that deserve a tip of the cap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>John Lohn<\/strong><br \/>\nAssociate Editor-in-Chief<br \/>\n<em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-march-2021-issue-pdf-only\">Click here to download the complete March 2021 issue, available now!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-march-2021-issue-pdf-only\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"463378\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-march-2021-shaine-casas-the-texas-am-swimmer-has-people-wondering-who-is-this-guy\/swimming-world-march-2021-shane-casas-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-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=\"Swimming World March 2021 &#8211; Shane Casas &#8211; COVER\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Swimming World March 2021 &#8211; Shane Casas &#8211; COVER&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-463378 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming World March 2021 - Shane Casas - COVER\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>[PHOTO CREDIT: CONNOR TRIMBLE]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Get <em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em> and <em>Swimming World Biweekly<\/em> FREE When You<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/join\" 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\"><em>Become A Member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product\/30-day-digital-membership-to-ishof-with-swimming-world-subscription-download-current-swimming-world-biweekly-and-technique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New! 30 Day Membership to ISHOF <em>AND<\/em> Digital Swimming World Subscription for just $10 a month!<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product\/1-year-ishof-family-membership-with-swimming-world-print-and-digital-subscription-perfect-gift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Want more?

Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out that showdown, but spirits are running high one year later\u2014not only for that much anticipated Cal-Texas confrontation, but for the simple fact that college swimmers will again be able to come together and compete at a national championship.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>014 YES, VIRGINIA, NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR MOVE<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Dan D\u2019Addona<\/strong><br \/>\nFor years, Stanford and Cal have been battling each other for national supremacy at women\u2019s NCAAs, with the Cardinal and Golden Bears finishing 1-2 in the last three championships. Before that, Cal had put together four team titles since 2009. But in 2021, look for Virginia to make its move\u2014not only as a new rival, but quite possibly as a new champion!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>016 ALL SYSTEMS GO&#8230;FOR NOW!<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Andy Ross<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough the NCAA Division III and NAIA had canceled their championship swimming and diving meets in early February, NCAA\u00a0 Division II was still a \u201cgo,\u201d thereby preserving the possibility for Queens University of Charlotte to pursue its sixth straight men\u2019s and women\u2019s team titles.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>018 DOC\u2019S GUYS<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by John Lohn<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the late 1960s into the early 1970s, Doc Counsilman\u2019s Indiana University swimming program was a focal point of the sport. His legendary teams were a dominant presence not just on the collegiate scene, but also on the national\u2014and international\u2014stage.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>021 THE \u201cMOUNT RUSHMORE\u201d OF NCAA DIVISION I SWIMMING<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Andy Ross<\/strong><br \/>\nIf there were a sculpture made of the top American NCAA Division I swimmers similar to the one depicting four U.S. Presidents on Mount Rushmore, Tracy Caulkins, Natalie Coughlin, Pablo Morales and John Naber would be worthy honorees. No other swimmer has won more NCAA D-I individual titles than those four.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>024 TAKEOFF TO TOKYO: OLYMPIC RIVALRIES OF YESTERYEAR<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by John Lohn<\/strong><br \/>\nRivalries have always defined the sport. Michael Phelps vs. Ian Crocker. Gary Hall Jr. vs. Alexander Popov. Shirley Babashoff vs. East Germany. These are just a few rivalries that stand out and should long be remembered. But what about the rivalries from the early days of swimming? As our \u201cTakeoff to Tokyo\u201d series continues, Swimming World takes a look at some of these rivalries from yesteryear.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>026 WHO IS THIS GUY?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by David Rieder<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore the summer of 2019, Texas A&amp;M\u2019s Shaine Casas had been swimming under the radar. But if his performances since then are any indication, the end results could be spectacular. His coaches see his potential as basically unlimited, and recent history makes it tough to disagree. As for Casas, he has similarly lofty expectations for himself.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>029 ISHOF: THE VALUE OF SWIMMING IN WAR<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Bruce Wigo<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the early 1900s, there was scarcely an American alive who was unfamiliar with the name of Frederick Funston. He was the most decorated and celebrated hero of the Philippine-American War (1899-1902)\u2014famous in military and swimming history for his willingness to have his men swim across rivers, under fire, when, according to press reports, \u201cThey couldn\u2019t otherwise get at the enemy quickly enough to suit them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>COACHING<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>041 SPECIAL SETS: BOWE KNOWS SWIMMING<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Michael J.
