    Hungary's Dani Gyurta, 15, Became the Youngest Olympic Medalist in Swimming Since 1932 When He Captured Silver in the Men's 200 Meter Breaststroke at Athens

    Hungary's Dani Gyurta, 15, became the youngest Olympic medalist in swimming since 1932 when he captured silver in the men's 200 meter breaststroke at Athens. Be sure to pick up a copy of Swimming World Magazine and read, "Coming of Age," a story about Hungary's new superstar swimmer that includes a Q and A as well as a "How They Train" with sample workouts. The following SwimInfo Interactive article provides even more background on Dani. It is written by Norbert Agh, a 1988 Olympian and Swimming World Magazine's European correspondent from Hungary: The vast majority of the one billion-plus spectators who watched young Daniel Gyurta win a silver medal in the 200 meter breaststroke at the Athens Games last summer, undoubtedly were shocked by the brilliant performance of the barely 15-year-old Hungarian. He instantly became very famous in Hungary after Athens. You can see Dani's face everywhere--on TV shows, in newspapers, magazines and bildboards. It seems that everybody in his country likes this youngster who seemingly has no problem with this sudden fame. Swimming World has been watching Gyurta since 2001 and has been following his astonishing progress. It started when Dani was still 11, one month short of 12. Back then he swam 2:25.47 in the 200 meter breast (all of the times in this article are long course). It was unbelievable. According to our research that time was at least 10 seconds faster than the best 12-year-olds in the world, and he wasn't even 12 yet.

    Amanda Beard Amanda Beard Made Her First Olympic Appearance

    Amanda Beard Amanda Beard made her first Olympic appearance at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games at the age of 14, while a student at Irvine High School in Irvine, California. She won silver medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststrokes and gold in the medley relay. Her young-teen manner captured the attention of the media, and she was often photographed clutching her teddy bear, even on the medal stand. She won a bronze medal in the 200- meter breaststroke at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Amanda attended the University of Arizona, where she captured an individual NCAA National Championship in 2001. In 2003, she became the world champion and world record holder in the 200-meter breaststroke. At the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, Amanda won her first individual gold medal in the 200-meter breaststroke and a silver medal in the 200-meter individual medley. She is the winner of eight United States titles - three times in both the 200m breaststroke and the 100m breaststroke, plus twice in the 200m individual medley – and she was ranked first in a world for 200m breaststrokers in 2003. Not only did she gain popularity with her swimming expertise, Amanda is also well known for her other endeavors. Modeling has become a full-time career that she would like to continue and is also interested in more TV hosting opportunities. Amanda spends much of her time doing appearances for her Olympic Sponsors, speaking engagements for Breast Cancer awareness and talking with young swimmers throughout the United States about overcoming obstacles and setting high goals.

    2011 Wiaa Coaches School

    FRIDAY 7/29/11 2011 WIAA COACHES SCHOOL Sports Specific Technique Session – Swimming Carlos Palacián [email protected] Head Coach – Swimming Holy Names Academy The fifth competitive stroke: Underwater Swimming and Transitions With 15 meters allowed off the start and every turn, underwater swimming is a skill worth developing, particularly in high school where turns play such an important role in competition. The most important variable to perfect for underwater swimming of a race is the posture, line and balance of the swimmer. Many swimmers streamline with the chin tucked in, beginner swimmers sometimes like to tilt the head back to see where they are going. The head of an average swimmer with good posture (hidden between the arms) offers 8 lbs of resistance. When tucked or tilted the head offers up to 12 lbs of resistance. The core must be engaged in order for a swimmer to have good posture. The core most often disengages when the swimmer rolls over to his/her front, usually at the wall. More advanced swimmers perform the roll away from the wall but still lose their posture on the roll over. Dolphin kick versus flutter kick off the start and turns in free and back… Dolphin kick is generally faster, however: The dolphin kick has to be efficient, quick and must have power. Some swimmers’ dolphin may not be strong enough to be faster than flutter. Try the 10 second test. And develop the strength and power to do the dolphin. A lot of swimmers fail to stabilize their transition to the surface.
