\nShould USA Swimming Hold A Short Course Qualifying Meet for Short Course Worlds?<\/span><\/h1>\n

ROWDY GAINES<\/strong>
\n1984 Olympic gold medalist & television sports analyst<\/em><\/p>\n

It is an imperfect system. I think everybody understands that. I think going forward, it just depends on how much emphasis is put on short course meters.<\/p>\n

It takes a lot to put on a meet like that, a trials. Is it worth it? Is it valuable enough? Katie Ledecky has barely swum short course meters. Have you seen a list of the top 10 performances all-time? She\u2019s not on it.<\/p>\n

It has not been important in the past, but it\u2019s becoming more important now because of money. When there wasn\u2019t any money, nobody cared. Now that there\u2019s money, then people\u2019s livelihoods are at stake. Now that it\u2019s really a livelihood situation, then short course meters has become important.<\/p>\n

I think things need to be done to accommodate those kinds of athletes who put an emphasis on short course meters and make their livelihood on that. It took something like this (Coleman Stewart being left off as a world record holder) to make this an issue. It\u2019s an imperfect system.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TOM SHIELDS<\/strong>
\n2x U.S. Olympian (member of Short Course Worlds team)<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes. Create an amalga-mation \/ combination of results with a creative formula or just implement a \u201cuse-your-head\u201d policy. Refer to someone who knows the game (short course yards\/meters), and who is ideally unbiased to help make the hard choices between NCAA swimmers and pros. Or else just run a meet. And I believe there should be an American record\/world record consideration.<\/p>\n

But in my opinion, we can extrapolate a formula to identify direct medal threats with a little bit of brain work. Not me, but we have some smart dudes around who can whip something up, and we can tweak it as we go.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ZACH HARTING<\/strong>
\n2021 U.S. Olympian (member of Short Course Worlds team)<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes and no. I\u2019m one of the guys who benefits from it being picked from long course. I understand that. I do think holding a Trials would be challenging. If there was a Short Course Worlds Trials, it would give an advantage to pros who can focus on that or taper properly for that over college kids whose focus is conference and NCAAs.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also not a good time to hold them. Maybe November? But this year there wasn\u2019t, not with ISL. I also don\u2019t think you can pick based off SCM times. I think that\u2019d be unfair to college kids who would have a shot otherwise.<\/p>\n

But SCM isn\u2019t really a thing in the U.S., so the pros swimming in the ISL and maybe some summer league swims are about it. So I think that route is invalid.<\/p>\n

Basically, there\u2019s no good way to select the team. While I\u2019m happy to go, I know the current system benefits me and other long course \u201cspecialists\u201d\u2014if that\u2019s the word for it\u2014so I plan to do my best and not let the others down.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BEATA NELSON<\/strong>
\nAmerican record holder in SCM 100 IM (not on Short Course Worlds team)<\/em><\/p>\n

I would love it if they did a qualification meet. I know it is difficult to make something like that happen, but I think short course performance should be a part of deciding a short course team, for sure.<\/p>\n

COACHING<\/p>\n

036<\/span> COACHING IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT (Part 2)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael J. Stott<\/strong>
\nLast month, in Part 1, Swimming World explored how COVID-19 altered swim training as we have known it. This month, we look at some issues and opportunities facing club swimming as it strives to be the sport of choice for a younger generation.<\/p>\n

042 <\/span> SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: MAXIMIZING SWIMMING VELOCITY (Part 6)\u2014THE PUSH PHASE<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Rod Havriluk<\/strong>
\nIn freestyle and butterfly, swimmers typically decrease the push phase time to increase stroke rate and swimming velocity. In doing so, the premature upward motion of the elbows pulls the hands upward and compromises propulsion. Most swimmers can gain additional propulsion on the push phase by pushing the hand backward instead of pulling the hand upward.<\/p>\n
