\nAfter watching Michael Andrew swim the 200 IM at last summer\u2019s U.S. Olympic Trials, Michael Phelps commented then that he thought Andrew was tiring at the end of his race and was no longer catching enough water at the front of his freestyle stroke\u2014something that could be fixed with his training. Andrew agreed: \u201cIt makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBecca Meyers, one of America\u2019s highest-profile Paralympic swimmers, announced her retirement from the sport.

\nSometimes, a change in training environment is all an athlete needs to get back on track. That\u2019s what worked for Dylan Carter after he returned to his home country of Trinidad and Tobago during the middle of the ISL season to train with local coach Dexter Browne. The two-time World Short Course Championships medalist was one of the breakout performers in ISL Season 2, setting numerous national records and proving to be a valuable point scorer for the L.A. Current.<\/p>\n

\nIf the powers-that-be in swimming want the sport to extend the sports\u2019 reach in the non-Olympic years, it needs to be less Olympic-centric, and that means having at least one major international meet in long course each year, where the results truly matter.<\/p>\n
