But in the world of swimming, the opportunity to compete for one\u2019s country means just a bit more. This selection vaults you into an exclusive club of the world\u2019s best, and provides the opportunity to pursue the sport as a career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, USA Swimming announced its National Teams for the upcoming year, with 106 swimmers selected. Of these 106 athletes, nearly half are still currently in college, with a handful still undecided about their future. These young athletes are in breakthrough mode, seeking to be the future of USA Swimming. I spoke with four of these swimmers, in order to get their perspective on what the opportunity might mean for their careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Benefiting From Leadership<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First-time selection <strong>Tommy Janton<\/strong> has been to a lot of significant meets. The ACC finalist has competed on some of the largest stages in swimming, including the NCAA Champs. But with the lights shining brightest \u00a0at the 2024 Olympic Trials, Janton felt the pressure of the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cI just was thinking about all these things, whether it was dropping time or having a chance at making the team,\u201d he said. \u201cI just needed to hold my composure.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facing stress, Janton sought guidance, and turned to a superb source on handling pressure: Nine-time Olympic gold medalist and world-record holder Caeleb Dressel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI started explaining to him how I had a chance to make the team and all this\u2026 and he told me to slow down,\u201d Janton said. Dressel advised Janton to \u201cthink like a goldfish,\u201d by taking each race \u201cone step at a time\u201d and forgetting the previous race in preparation for the next challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of leadership led to Janton earning National Team selection, something he believes will help him \u201clearn a lot\u201d this upcoming season. The backstroker pointed to interactions with Olympians Ryan Murphy and Dressel as experiences he was \u201cgrateful for,\u201d since \u201cbeing next to some of the greatest guys in the country\u2026 you become one.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Collective Confidence<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ready room at swim meets is usually an incredibly tense place. Swimmers do anything to prepare themselves for the big moment, often looking to intimidate or block out her competitors. But for first time-selection <strong>Josephine Fuller<\/strong>, the ready room has become \u201ca place of excitement,\u201d thanks to the camaraderie she has experienced. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s just a really fun place for reunions\u201d said Fuller. \u201cIt\u2019s very fun to race each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fuller pointed to her swims at the Pan-American Games as a start to this phenomenon. It was the Tennessee swimmer&#8217;s first international meet, leaving her uneasy. However, she \u201csurprised herself with her comfortability\u201d on the big stage, largely due to the shared experience with her Team USA teammates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe all gave each other energy\u201d Fuller said, \u201cIt instilled the confidence in me that I belonged on that stage.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A New Role<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Dylan Gravley<\/strong> is now a three-time selection to the U.S. National Team, making him a wily veteran of the distance group. An influx of youth talent has emerged, following the excellence set by the team&#8217;s veterans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s very different. I still feel like a baby,\u201d Gravley said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gravley pointed to the wave of \u201cpool swimmers getting into open water\u201d as a reason for this younger movement. \u201cSwimmers like Gregorio (Paltrinieri) and Florian (Wellbrock) have brought along a new wave, making it even more important to train at an aerobic clip.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Team won\u2019t be a new experience for Gravley, but the swimmer still feels appreciative for the opportunity, largely due to its perks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOpen water swimming is very well supported,\u201d he said, pointing to the funding for competition and travel as essential. The swimmer hopes this support will help him compete internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Progressing the Program<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Team experience represents a big stepping stone for an athlete. Second-time selection <strong>Daniel Matheson <\/strong>is hoping to further encourage his collegiate teammates and celebrate their collective achievements. Matheson indicated that having \u201ca squad of around 20 people\u201d with him for support at Trials was something that helped him perform well, allowing him to \u201cdisconnect from swimming\u201d and be with his team. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The energy my team brought was electric,\u201d he said. &#8220;It will only continue to grow.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all four of these swimmers, National Team selection represents a key year in their journey. From NCAA Championships aspirations to international training goals, all have goals to chase. But it seems obvious that placement on this national team should help all four continue to strive for new goals and superb seasons. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Generation: National Team Nods a Spark to Greater Success For Emerging Stars Across the sports world, the opportunity to represent one\u2019s country has always been a monumental achievement.
