The Incredible Story Behind Cody Miller's Rise to Olympic Fame   The British Broadcasting Company’s coverage of the men’s 100-meter breaststroke at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics understandably focused on homegrown star Adam Peaty, especially when he won the gold medal and eclipsed his own world record. But as the BBC cameras zoomed in on Peaty’s post-race celebration, it was momentarily hijacked by the wildly exultant commotion in the neighboring lane. “And look, too, some extraordinary emotion from Cody Miller,” observed the British broadcaster. “Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!” the American...

5 Swim-Themed Costume Ideas   Halloween seems like a swimmer’s perfect holiday: Free candy distributed at every house, consumption encouraged, in the middle of our sport’s hardest season, Getting In Shape Season. As a kid, I always loved Halloween. I loved (and still love) any holiday that involves food in any capacity whatsoever.    But even as swim-obsessed as I was, I never dressed up as any swim-themed monster. Truth is, there aren’t very many swim-themed monsters out there. (Unless you count some of those lowly PED-users out there.)  Every...

How to Deal with Slacking Off Teammates   It’s the most painful practice of your life. We’re talking a 10,000-yard shoulder killer. We’re talking a four-hour holiday marathon that makes you want to become a curler, a volleyball player, or a ballerina, or something — anything — but a swimmer. And, to make things worse, there they are. Your slacking off teammates. Laughing. Snorting. Making water balloons out of their swim caps and throwing them at each other. You’re about to pass out from working as hard as you possibly...

5 Reasons You Should be Working on Your Underwater Fly Kick   If you’ve seen top level swimmers live, you know just how extraordinarily powerful they can kick underwater. Swimmers like Michael Phelps, Florent Manaudou, and Tom Shields perform the undulating dolphin kick so fluidly and powerfully that it seems superhuman.   Trying to mimic their grace and power can leave us feeling more like a salmon in its death throes than the dolphin for which the kick is named after.   But before you toss the notion of improving...
