A day later, though, Fossil Ridge went 1:38.13 at the state championships in Colorado to snatch the record away from the Bearacudas. But at the end of the season, the Harpeth Hall girls and their teammates earned a bigger prize: they were named Swimming World’s girls’ national high school champions!

SWIMMING WORLD PUBLISHING, CIRCULATION AND ACCOUNTING BY BRENT T. RUTEMILLER www.SwimmingWorldMagazine.com Publisher, CEO - Brent T. Rutemiller oth Michaels are graced with incredible physiques. Michael Phelps stands at 6-4 [email protected] with size 14 shoes and a wingspan of 6-7. Michael Andrew stands two inches B Operations Manager - Laurie Marchwinski taller at 6-6, filling the same shoes and wingspan. One career just ended, the other is just [email protected] getting started. Assistant Operations Manager - Taylor Brien Both Michaels are perceived differently. Phelps changed the sport publicly. Andrew is [email protected] changing the sport internally. Circulation/Membership - Ivonne Schmid From a public perspective, Phelps changed competitive swimming by maximizing its [email protected] exposure while winning 28 Olympic medals. Internally, Andrew—at age 19—is changing Accounting - Marcia Meiners the sport by setting junior world records and national age group records by using non- [email protected] traditional training methods. Andrew’s form of training was validated as he won four EDITORIAL, PRODUCTION, national titles last month at USA Swimming’s Summer Nationals and gold in the 50 free MERCHANDISING, MARKETING AND at the Pan Pacific Championships. ADVERTISING OFFICE If change is measured by how the sport is viewed, then Phelps wins. But if change 2744 East Glenrosa Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85016 is measured by how the sport’s culture is viewed, then my guess is that Andrew is the Toll Free: 800-511-3029 Phone: 602-522-0778 • Fax: 602-522-0744 catalyst. www.SwimmingWorldMagazine.com Herein lies the conundrum: which change will be the most beneficial to the sport— cultural change or public awareness? EDITORIAL AND PRODUCTION Phelps did the impossible by training seven days a week, two practices (on most days), [email protected] for years with an emphasis on the 400 IM and middle-distance events. It is a distance-on- Senior Editor - Bob Ingram down approach. [email protected] Andrew is showing what IS possible by training differently with an emphasis on sprints Managing Editor - Dan D’Addona and shorter races. It is a sprint-on-up approach. [email protected] So, if we are to measure change from a visibility point of view, Phelps wins again. But Assistant Managing Editor - Annie Grevers if we are to measure change from a cultural point of view, my bet once again is on Andrew. [email protected] The hard fact is that the Phelps era did not translate into institutional growth for the Design Director - Joseph Johnson sport of swimming. Statistics showed that the number of young boys (10-and-under) that Historian - Bruce Wigo joined USA Swimming dropped between 2012 and 2016. Most young boys complained Staff Writers - Michael J. Stott, David Rieder, that the sport required too much time. Michael Randazzo So, the Phelps influence on the public’s perception of swimming—although great for viewership—did not ultimately translate into growth for the sport of swimming. Fitness Trainer - J.R. Rosania This lack of growth for young males is one reason USA Swimming is instituting Chief Photographer - Peter H. Bick a Flex Membership campaign to attract new swimmers into the sport. The intent is to SwimmingWorldMagazine.com WebMaster: limit practices and competitions for these young entry-level swimmers. The goal is to [email protected] encourage all kids to try all sports, and when they are ready to commit, those athletes who choose swimming can upgrade to a full membership with more practices and competition MARKETING AND ADVERTISING opportunities. If the kids are still swimming at age 13, USA Swimming has shown a 93 [email protected] percent retention rate from that point on. Marketing Assistant - Meg Keller-Marvin With Michael Andrew’s emphasis on high-intensity, short-yardage workouts, his form [email protected] of training certainly feeds well into USA Swimming’s marketing game plan. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENTS Phelps certainly paved the way for Andrew. But in the end, who really has changed Africa: Chaker Belhadj (TUN) or will be changing the sport? Perhaps it will be a combination. Either way, the Australia: Wayne Goldsmith, Ian Hanson Europe: Norbert Agh (HUN), Camilo Cametti (ITA), Michaels win.
