There are thousands of reasons for this that\u00a0all converge at the same point: losing love and passion\u00a0for an amazing sport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>010 GOOSEBUMP MOMENTS OF 2015<\/strong><br \/>\nBy Andy Ross<br \/>\nThere were a lot of moments from 2015 where I got\u00a0goosebumps from watching certain swimmers do well,\u00a0or just from seeing truly impressive performances.\u00a0Here are some of those goosebump-inducing moments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>014 SWIMMING: A SHARED LANGUAGE IN THE\u00a0U.S.A. AND JAPAN<\/strong><br \/>\nBy Brittany Oxley<br \/>\nOne thing I have learned through my swimming career\u00a0is that the swimming community is small. Someone\u00a0you know always knows someone else you know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>016 SWIM LIKE AN AGE-GROUPER\u2026\u00a0PERFORM LIKE A CHAMPION<\/strong><br \/>\nBy Nikki Cannon<br \/>\nI LOVED swimming when I was 12. I lived it, I breathed\u00a0it, it was probably the main focus of my energy at the time.\u00a0But somehow along the way, things changed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>018 SWIMMING\u2019S ROLE IN GENDER FRIENDSHIP<\/strong><br \/>\nby Connor Bailey<br \/>\nReally, almost every sports is divided by gender, and when\u00a0there are companion teams\u2013say for a single school\u2013they don\u2019t\u00a0really interact with each other. But, swimming is different.<\/p>\n<p><strong>020 SHOULDN\u2019T SWIMMING OFFICIALS BE PAID?<\/strong><br \/>\nby Alex Labonge<br \/>\nWithout officials, swim meets would have no validity, no\u00a0accountability, no backbone. My question is this: Shouldn\u2019t\u00a0these officials be paid for this?<\/p>\n<p><strong>022 ARE MALE SWIMMERS STAYING IN THE SPORT\u00a0TOO LONG?<\/strong><br \/>\nby Patrick Murphy<br \/>\nAs we approach the World Championships heading into the\u00a0Olympic year, we get to see a number of veterans compete in\u00a0what\u2019s believed to be their last go-around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>024 RICH ABRAHAMS, REWRITING THE RECORD\u00a0BOOKS AT 70<\/strong><br \/>\nby Nicole Cassou<br \/>\nFor most aging adults, hitting a milestone like 70 is not\u00a0something to look forward to. The opposite is true in Masters\u00a0swimming, where aging up brings not apathy, but excitement\u00a0for a whole new set of goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>026 THE OLYMPIC MOTTO: FASTER, HIGHER,\u00a0STRONGER?<\/strong><br \/>\nby Seren Jones<br \/>\nAruba\u2019s Jordy Groters is entering his sophomore year\u00a0at the University of Missouri and already has far more\u00a0swimming experience than his fellow teammates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>028 SMILE. YOU\u2019LL SWIM FASTER<\/strong><br \/>\nby Cathleen Pruden<br \/>\nWhen you find yourself dreading a rep, struggling through\u00a0a practice, or afraid of a race, try something new: smile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>030 THE LAST MAN SWIMMING: DR. SCOTT SPANN<\/strong><br \/>\nby Tera Bradham<br \/>\nOne second before a devastating collision that would change\u00a0the course of his life, he wasn\u2019t thinking about the fact that\u00a0he was a seven-time NCAA champion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>032 STRONG WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN:\u00a0GROWING UP IN A SWIMMER\u2019S BODY<\/strong><br \/>\nby Lillian Nelson<br \/>\nWhether you are 13 years old and just growing into your\u00a0body, or 20 years old and reshaping your body with college\u00a0swimming, this sport really forces you to be aware of your\u00a0own presence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>033 A MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO HIDE\u00a0THEIR INJURIES<\/strong><br \/>\nby Kaylie Noll<br \/>\nInjuries happen in our sport. And they can happen to anyone.\u00a0You aren\u2019t the only one in the swimming world that\u2019s ever\u00a0been in serious pain; so don\u2019t be afraid to speak up, and get\u00a0yourself help as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>SEE OUR<strong> AQUATIC DIRECTORY<\/strong> STARTING ON PAGE 37<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swimming World Biweekly: The Best Collection of Summer Articles FEATURES ON THE COVER \u2013 SOPHIE HANSSON \u2013 PHOTO COURTESY: SINGAPORE SWIMMING FEDERATION 008 DEAR STRUGGLING SWIMMER By Elise Campbell Every<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":173595,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[56108,56738],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-173592","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-swimming-world-biweekly-1","7":"product_cat-2015-swimming-world-biweekly","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"downloadable","12":"virtual","13":"sold-individually","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"exclude_global_add_ons":[],"addons":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
