Dec. 3, 2012: Today's edition of The Morning Swim Show features a conversation with South Carolina’s Michael Flach, one of the top collegiate swimmers in freestyle and butterfly so far this season. Flach, who posted quick times in the 200- and 500-yard freestyles recently at the Virginia Tech Invitational, talks about returning to collegiate competition after taking off last season to prepare for the Olympic Trials. He said that redshirt year paid off dividends in the short term with a place in the 200 fly finals in Omaha, and he said the long-term effects means he’ll have a shorter postgraduate season in preparation for the 2016 Olympic Trials.
