Olympic Swimming blog

Swimmers come out of the wood work during the olympics. Once every four years, swimmers get a ton of press from the Olympics. So I am going to share the olympic swimmer blogs.

Mark Warkentin’s blog, he is the open water swimmer, is quite entertaining. Since he is an open water swimmer, his workouts are a bit different then the rest of the team, and the 10k swim is towards the end of the olympics while the rest of swimming is the first week. He gives a very nice perspective of training camp since he is very much an outsider looking in. An outsider who competed at the international level in the pool before switching to open water, so he is not an ostracized outsider, but someone with a different perspective on what is going on.

It is definitely worth reading his blog if you are interested in the behind the scenes training that goes on right before the olympics.

Now, if you don’t give a shit about swimming, I have a swimming video for you.

Auburn is a top division I swimming school (top 3 at NCAAs consistently). This nice little workout is a puke set, literally :) Watch and be entertained.
