\nAfter just missing making the U.S. Olympic team, Carson Foster later turned in a faster time in the 400 meter IM than Chase Kalisz\u2019s gold medal-winning mark\u2014and the world\u2019s fastest time in 2021. Since then, the 20-year-old has carried that momentum into his sophomore season at the University of Texas, turning in an early-season time in the 400 yard IM that is believed to be the quickest dual meet time ever.<\/p>\n

\nOlympic silver medalist Erica Sullivan has talked about her path to the Tokyo Games\u2014through the death of her father, her battles with mental health and three deferments of college eligibility. Recently on a \u201cJust Women\u2019s Sports\u201d podcast, she detailed her bout with COVID-19 in December 2020 that set back her training heading into the Olympic year.<\/p>\n

\nFive-time Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Caeleb Dressel is changing up his training, though he\u2019ll remain at the University of Florida. He recently announced via Instagram that he will be moving to the Florida Gators training group to work with Anthony Nesty and Steve Jungbluth, meaning he would be moving away from his long-time mentor, Coach Gregg Troy.<\/p>\n

\nOne year after Shaine Casas broke out during his junior season at Texas A&M, he is no longer a member of the Aggies\u2019 swim team after he revealed plans to move to Austin and swim in the University of Texas pro group under legendary coach Eddie Reese. However, Casas made an appearance at Texas A&M\u2019s annual mid-season Art Adamson Invitational, where he recorded the fastest 200 IM time so far this NCAA season.<\/p>\n
\nWyatt Collins, who served as assistant coach for the Texas men\u2019s swimming and diving program the last five seasons, was promoted to associate head coach. In his seven years on UT\u2019s staff\u2014five as an assistant and two as a volunteer coach\u2014Collins has been an integral part of the Longhorns success, which has included five national team championships and two runners-up.<\/p>\n

\nOlympic gold medalist Lydia Jacoby added hardware of a slightly different type to her collection, winning a pair of championships at the Alaskan School Activites Association Championships. Swimming for Seward High, Jacoby won the girls 200 yard IM in 2:05.70 and clocked 59.66 to break her own state record.<\/p>\n

\nHungarian Swimming is dealing with a crisis after five-time Olympian Laszlo Cseh leveled charges of an abusive training environment at former coach Gyorgy Turi. Cseh\u2019s revelations led others to come forward, and Turi, known on deck as \u201cthe Tsar,\u201d has acknowledged some of the criticism, though he\u2019s denied any abuse or sexual wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

\nFor the International Swimming League (ISL), the start to this year\u2019s playoffs have been a total dud. The world\u2019s best swimmer is absent, multiple teams are dealing with positive COVID-19 cases, and with two weeks and four matches left prior to the ISL final, it\u2019s already a fait accompli which teams will be moving on.<\/p>\n

\nThe Cali Condors\u2019 Kelsi Dahlia crushed her own ISL league record of 55.22 in the women\u2019s 100 fly (SCM) with a 54.89 during the fourth match of the ISL playoffs. She was only 5-hundredths off her American record and 23-hundredths shy of Sarah Sjostrom\u2019s world record.<\/p>\n

\nFor as long as the University of Minnesota has sponsored a women\u2019s swimming program, the voice of the Golden Gophers\u2019 meets has been John Wendt. He started in 1973, then took on the role of announcer for the men\u2019s team a few years later. Wendt, who was inducted into the University of Minnesota Aquatics Hall of Fame in 2007, recently completed his streak of almost a half-century behind the microphone, making Wendt one of the country\u2019s longest active announcers at any level of swimming.<\/p>\n

\nJapan\u2019s Daiya Seto, considered the gold-medal favorite in the 400 IM and a contender for multiple medals at last summer\u2019s Olympics, left Tokyo without any hardware.
