FEATURES<\/strong><\/p>\n

008<\/span> WHAT CLAIRE CURZAN LEARNED FROM BUSY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS DEBUT<\/span><\/strong>
\nby David Rieder<\/strong>
\nClaire Curzan performed admirably at Worlds, claiming individual bronze in the 100 back and helping the Americans win four relay medals, including two gold. After getting through the tough, eight-day competition and walking away with plenty of hardware, Curzan has every intention of sticking with her wide-ranging goals.<\/p>\n

010<\/span> QUALIFYING TIMES ARE FAST AS OLYMPIC PROCEDURES ANNOUNCED FOR PARIS 2024<\/span><\/strong>
\nby David Rieder<\/strong>
\nFINA has released the full slate of qualifying procedures for aquatic events for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. There will be 852 athletes competing in the 35 pool swimming events, and the swimming competition at Paris La D\u00e9fense Arena will be held from July 27 through Aug. 4, spanning nine days for the first time.<\/p>\n

012<\/span> DUEL IN THE POOL ROSTER ANNOUNCED: KALISZ, ANDREW, LAZOR, SIMS, HELD LEAD USA<\/span><\/strong>
\nby Dan D\u2019Addona<\/strong>
\nUSA Swimming announced the American roster for the upcoming Duel in the Pool versus Australia, Aug. 19-21, in Sydney. For the first time, U.S. Paralympic Swimming athletes will be included in the competition.<\/p>\n

013<\/span> OFFICIAL DATES ANNOUNCED FOR 2028 OLYMPIC GAMES IN LOS ANGELES<\/span><\/strong>
\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nThe 2028 Olympic Games will be held from July 14-30, a week earlier than was suggested in the bid book submitted by L.A. 2028. The Games are coming to Los Angeles for the third time (1932\/1984).<\/p>\n

014<\/span> FINA CONFIRMS DOHA 2024 WILL BE OLYMPIC RELAY QUALIFICATION MEET; ONLY TOP THREE TO BOOK SLOTS IN FUKUOKA<\/span><\/strong>
\nby Liz Byrnes<\/strong>
\nFINA has confirmed that only the top-three finishers in each relay event will qualify for Paris 2024 at next year\u2019s World Championships in Fukuoka, with the remaining 13 teams booking their slots at the Doha Worlds, less than six months before the Olympics and weeks before the Trials season. Normally, 12 relay teams would qualify at Worlds 12 months before the Games.<\/p>\n

015<\/span> JAMES GUY ON 2024 WORLD CHAMPS: \u201cI AIN\u2019T GOING\u201d; PUSHBACK ON FINA DATES FOR DOHA GROWS STRONGER<\/span><\/strong>
\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nFollowing the disapproval expressed by countrymen Adam Peaty and Duncan Scott, British cornerstone James Guy also voiced his displeasure with FINA\u2019s announcement that the 2024 World Championships, scheduled for Doha, will be held in February, less than six months before the start of the Paris Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

016<\/span> COULD UCLA\u2019S MOVE TO BIG TEN SPARK RETURN OF MEN\u2019S SWIMMING AND DIVING PROGRAM?<\/span><\/strong>
\nby Dan D\u2019Addona<\/strong>
\nUCLA eliminated its men\u2019s swimming and diving program in 1994, along with men\u2019s and women\u2019s gymnastics, although the women\u2019s gymnastics program was reinstated a few years later. With the Bruins moving to the Big Ten Conference in 2024, the possibility of the school reinstating men\u2019s swimming and diving is as real as it has been since the program was cut.<\/p>\n

017<\/span> TATJANA SCHOENMAKER READY FOR RETURN TO INTERNATIONAL ACTION AT COMMONWEALTH GAMES<\/span><\/strong>
\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nAfter opting to bypass the World Championships and focus on the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, South African Tatjana Schoenmaker is set to make her return to international competition. The Olympic champion will be in action in a little more than a week, including in the 200 meter breaststroke, the event in which she won Olympic gold in Tokyo in world-record time (2:18.95), becoming the only woman in history to crack the 2:19 barrier.<\/p>\n

018<\/span> SWIM BROTHERS JOE AND JOHN ZEMAITIS TO SWIM IN ALL 50 STATES IN 30 DAYS<\/span><\/strong>

The effort will raise money for the USA Swimming Foundation in an effort to promote water safety and drowning prevention and provide access to open water swimming across the country.<\/p>\n

020<\/span> WHAT REMAINS? A LOOK AT THE LASTING SUPERSUIT RECORDS: WHICH WILL GO NEXT AND WHICH ARE UNTOUCHABLE?<\/span><\/strong>
\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nWhat are the remains of the calamity that was the two-year stretch in 2008 and 2009 when ability, fine-tuned via dedicated training and coaching, ran into the buzzsaw that was technology? Of course, we are referencing the sport\u2019s supersuit era, when polyurethane equipment shredded the record book\u2014locally, nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n

022<\/span> COMMENTARY: THROUGH JIM THORPE DECISION, IOC HAS OPENED DOOR TO RIGHT WRONGS OF EAST GERMAN DOPING<\/span><\/strong>
\nby John Lohn<\/strong>
\nThe IOC recently corrected an injustice from the past, declaring American Jim Thorpe as the sole gold medalist in the pentathlon and decathlon at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. An obvious question arises: Are we a step closer to the IOC righting the wrongs that pervaded the Olympic landscape when East Germany dominated via the benefits of a systematic-doping program?<\/p>\n

024<\/span> ONLY IN VEGAS<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nby Dan D\u2019Addona<\/strong>
\nThe evolution of the Sandpipers of Nevada Swim Club has grown exponentially in the last two years in true Las Vegas style\u2014from a long shot to a sure thing.<\/p>\n
