It’s been 2 years since Singaporean Joseph Schooling shocked the world by beating American icon Michael Phelps for Olympic gold in the men’s 100m butterfly race. Schooling rocked a monster personal best of 50.39 in Rio to break the previous Olympic Record of 50.58 set by Phelps back in Beijing.

Also monumental in the Rio race was the fact that there was a 3-way tie among Phelps and 2 of his biggest international rivals in South Africa’s Chad Le Clos and Hungary’s Laszlo Cseh. All 3 men touched in 51.14 for silver, giving Schooling the largest margin of victory in the men’s 100m fly since Mark Spitze won the race at the 1972 Olympics.

Although Schooling’s gold brought him the biggest monetary Olympic bonus in the world, the now-23-year-old former Texas Longhorn swimmer has struggled to find his form since Rio. He settled for bronze in Budapest in the 100m fly event behind former Bolles teammate Caeleb Dressel and Hungary’s rising star Kristof Milak, while he has dropped the 200m fly race all together.

Within NCAA action as a Longhorn, although Schooling proved to be a crucial relay member in his final 2 years, the Singaporean was unable to reproduce his individual titles from 2015 and 2016 when he won both the 100m and 200m fly events in back-to-back championships.

Nevertheless, Schooling now says he is back to his ‘fighting weight’ is ‘excited to feel his Rio stroke again.’ (The New Paper) With that in mind, all eyes will be on the Asian superstar as he battles against the likes of China’s Li Zhuhao and Japan’s Yuki Kobori in his pet 100m fly event Jakarta this week.

Schooling is also expected to race the 100m free and 50m fly, in addition to relays.

16-year-old Li Bingjie is looking to make her mark on the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, mirroring teammate Sun Yang’s stacked schedule of racing the 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle events. Li is ranked in the top 5 in the world in both the 400m and 1500m freestyle races with the 4:01.75 and 15:52.87 season-bests already produced in the lead-up to these Games. Her time of 4:01.75, seen in the video above, checked-in as a new Chinese national and Asian continental record for the emerging ace when she threw it down at last September’s China Games.

Prior to that, Li took home 2 individual medals from the 2017 World Championships in Budapest. The teen won silver in the 800m freestyle and bronze in the 400m freestyle, while also taking silver as a member of her nation’s 4x200m freestyle relay.

However, another 16-year-old Chinese woman in the form of Wang Jianjiahe is ready to rumble and take on her domestic rival in Jakarta. Wang is ranked 5th in the world in both the 400m and 800m with respective times of 4:03.14 and 8:18.09, while she sits 4th in the 1500m with her season-best of 15:53.01.

With the pair so closely linked together times-wise, we’ll be looking for some intense freestyle battles to take place in the middle of the pool come the competition in Indonesia. That was the scene in April at the Chinese Spring Nationals, where Wang beat Bingjie in the 1500m free. Though Wang didn’t top Li’s time of 15:52.87 from last September, she did go 15:53.01 to move to #2 in the world and beat Li’s 15:58.29 for the national title.

The duo’s weakest event is the 200m free, where Japan’s Rikako Ikee looks primed to take the Asian Games title after blasting a new personal best and Asian Record of 1:54.85 en route to silver behind Canada’s Taylor Ruck at the recent Pan Pacific Championships. Ikee’s teammate Chihiro Igarashi finished 7th in that race and will look to carry Ikee’s momentum into Jakarta. Additionally, China’s Zhang Yuhan and Quiu Yuhan are viable minor medal contenders in the 200m free event.

Duke University women’s swimming and diving team has landed Quinn Scannell as a transfer for the fall of 2018. Scannell is coming off a stellar freshman season at the University of Pennsylvania, where she won the 200 back at 2018 Ivy League Championships going 1:54.64 to take down Penn and Ivy League Championships records in the event. She also ended her freshman season two more lifetime bests: a 53.57 in the 100 back for second place, and a 23.26 in the 50 free for 13th.

“I am thrilled to have Quinn Scannell joining us here at Duke,” said head coach Dan Colella.“She is coming off an amazing season of swimming and will add additional firepower to an already deep and talented group of freshmen. She also comes with collegiate experience which is an added bonus. We are looking forward to her arrival.”

Scannell grew up in Stamford, Connecticut and swam for Greenwich Academy. She was a high school All-American in the 200 free and 500 free as well as the 200 and 400 free relays. She won all four events at 2017 New England Prep School Championships while setting the NEPPSAC record in the 200 free. As a senior, she helped Greenwich claim its first NEPSAC team title.

Scannell does her year-round swimming with the Badger Swim Club. Her 200 back time would have been just outside of A-final scoring range at 2018 ACC Championships had she been a Blue Devil last year. Her 100 back would have been solidly in the B final, and her 50 free would have tied for 42nd in prelims.

With 3 years of eligibility left, Scannell will enter Duke with incoming freshmen Brynne O’Shea, Easop Lee, Lucy Callard, Melissa Pish, Rachel Peroni, Shae Nicolaisen, Shayna Hollander, and Zoe Lusk.

Top SCY times:

• 200 Back SCY – 1:54.64
• 100 Back SCY – 53.57
• 200 Free SCY – 1:47.60
• 50 Free SCY – 23.26

Former Rutgers University swimming & diving coach Petra Martin says her termination from her job had to do with implicit gender bias.

Martin spoke to SwimSwam this week, saying the school didn’t follow traditional protocols or properly investigate complaints about her coaching before asking for her resignation. She says her sudden ouster from the program caught her by surprise in the fall of 2017.

“I really hadn’t heard anything until the week I was let go,” Martin said. “It came as kind of a shock.”

The school officially termed it a resignation, saying in its official statement that Martin and the athletic director “mutually agreed that it was in the best interest of the program for the coach to resign.” In the same statement, the school noted complaints by two swim team members, but said an investigation into the matter “did not reveal any violation of university policy.” Swimmers, though, spoke anonymously to NJ.com, alleging that Martin was verbally abusive and had “shamed athletes over their weight,” among other things.

At the time, Martin denied the allegations.

“I have been advised not to comment, other than to say I am terribly troubled by the accusations… because they are not true,” Martin told NJ.com. “I have always had the best interests of my athletes at heart, and I wish all of them well moving forward,”

Martin and her attorney say they discovered later that the complaints had come to the attention of the athletic department on November 10th. Martin was informed of the complaints on November 14th, and was asked to resign on November 16th, a timeline they say wouldn’t allow the school to follow proper protocols and conduct a thorough enough investigation into the allegations.

“I hadn’t heard anything until everything went down and I was let go,” Martin said. “That’s what’s kind of puzzling: why they didn’t follow the procedures to look into things the way that they should and the way that universities do.”

Gender Bias Allegation

Martin has connected with lawyer Thomas Newkirk, whose firm has experience in dealing with employment and discrimination law. Martin and Newkirk say that her firing had to do with implicit gender bias: how complaints against female coaches are seen and treated differently than complaints against male coaches.

“We’ve found across the country that female coaches are more often blamed for complaints without any facts or substances to back them up,” Newkirk said. “We do that because of implicitly-driven gender biases and stereotypes. That’s one reason why [Martin] was dumped so quickly.

“Implicit gender bias doesn’t mean everybody’s a sexist,” Newkirk added. “It means that in athletics… we still view it as a man’s job. If we really look into our hearts, we all should understand this. There’s a consequence to this. The consequence is that the female in a man’s role is going to be judged a little more harshly by everyone – not only by athletic departments, but by student-athletes, their parents, alums and fans.”

Martin says the complaints against her weren’t about specific behavior but were “feelings-based,” something Newkirk says is common in complaints against female coaches.

“A lot of it was feelings-based stuff, and I think that’s part of the problem, especially when we’re talking about gender bias,” Martin said.

“What happens with a female coach is, you come in and express an emotion,” Newkirk said of complaints. “We take the emotional label of ‘she made me feel bad’, ‘she was abusive to me’, ‘she was bullying me’, and we assign that credibility where there are no facts to support the label.”

“Go examine the actual allegations of the student, and you will find that there is no factual basis for the label. And if you do find something that the coach did, that technically is the factual basis for the label, you’ll find that men are doing exactly the same thing. The double standard will become apparent from examining the facts.” Newkirk says he knows of at least seventy coaches across the country who have had their careers harmed by this phenomenon.

We reached out to Rutgers for comment about the allegation that gender bias played a role in Martin’s termination. A spokesperson merely said “We do not comment on legal or litigation matters.”

Newkirk says Martin isn’t currently seeking a legal remedy against Rutgers, but is communicating with the school in an effort to clear her name of any abuse allegations and to educate the school on the gender bias she says played a part in her termination. But Newkirk did tell NJ.com that “if we’re unable to get Rutgers to come back to the table in a positive way, which is still our effort, we will, of course, have to pursue legal action” to make the school pay out money Martin says she’s owed on her contract, which had about three years remaining.

Specific Behaviors

The broad concept of gender bias can be nebulous and hard to illustrate. We asked Newkirk and Martin for examples of specific behaviors they say would be treated differently in a male coach compared to a female one.

Newkirk pointed to a few key topics and behaviors he says illustrate this phenomenon.

“There are lots of things women do that men do that there’s a slightly higher standard,” he said. “If Petra yells across the pool, is she viewed a little harsher, a little more negative?

“If a student-athlete sees a counselor – for a hundred reasons, because she’s upset or misses her home, there are lots of kids who see counselors – the female coach is blamed for the fact that they’re seeing a counselor.”

Newkirk also pointed to food as a big topic. If an athlete feels a female coach is trying to deny them food or talking about their fitness, they’re more likely to blame a female coach for creating body-image issues, Newkirk says. He also says female coaches have their communication abilities criticized more often.

Martin pointed to progress within the program in academics, team culture and athletic performance during her two-and-a-half-year tenure as evidence that her coaching wasn’t the issue it’s been made out to be.

“We were actually having a great year,” Martin said of the fall before her ousting. She says that when she took over the team, it carried a 3.28 Team GPA, and by spring of 2017, that number was up to 3.46, tied for 4th in the Big Ten. The team had risen steadily in the Big Ten over her two years, and she says the program was coming off of a successful U.S. Open showing at the end of the summer of 2017.

“Things were clicking well,” Martin said, noting that the team had gone through a series of team-building exercises to improve different skills and open up communication. “It was a great experience. The team had really positive feedback about it.

“I don’t think that you do all those things and you have all those experiences if there’s something so terribly wrong,” Martin said.

Following a World Record in the 50 backstroke (24.00) at the 2018 European Championships in Glasgow, United Kingdom, Russian star Kliment Kolesnikov talked with Russian media outlet Sport-Express about a wide array of topics.*

*For all of the non-Russian readers, if you do not have a translator extension built into your browser you may have to download one.

The 18 year-old Kolesnikov made a name for himself internationally in 2017 when he shattered the World Junior Record in the 200 back with a 1:55.49 at Russian Nationals (April 2017). That performance qualified him for the World Championships in Budapest, where he finished 4th in the 200 with a 1:55.14 – a new WJR that still stands today. In December, he added on a regular World Record in the 100 backstroke in short course meters.

But this year, Kolesnikov has looked stronger in the 50 and the 100. As mentioned above, he broke a longstanding super-suited 2009 WR in the 50 back at Euros with a 24.00. He also won the 100 in Glasgow with a quick 52.53 – a lifetime best that crushed his own WJR of 52.95 set the day before. In the 200 however, he missed the final (and semifinals) due to the 2-per-country rule – cruising in prelims with a 1:57.31. Teammates Evgeny Rylov (2017 World Champion) and Grigory Tarasevich were faster with a 1:56.67 and 1:57.07, respectively.

In the interview with Sport-Express, Kolesnikov answered a broad range of questions including: his thoughts on the WR, missing the 200 back final, drug testing at Euros, the public rivalry between Russian Yulia Efimova and USA’s Lilly King, the performances of fellow backstroker Ryan Murphy, the notion of training and going to school in the United States, and much more.

Please note: all of the responses below were translated from Russian to English using Google Translate, which could slightly alter the context.

On his 50 back World Record:

“I felt from this only joy. Because, in fact, I did not really want to beat the world record. And that’s why I did not fully understand what was happening at first. And only in 5-6 seconds, when I realized what had happened, joy swept over me.”

On drug testing at the European Championships:

“I five times handed in doping tests during the championship of Europe. Nobody came at 5 AM and did not break training. To all sportsmen there was an absolutely equal attitude.”

On the Efimova/King rivalry – specifically not shaking hands on Rio Olympics podium:

“I believe that this story is the result of personal dislike. This humiliation of the opponent. It’s disgusting to look at this behavior. Every opponent should have respect, because he does exactly the same job. And your personal dislike in public is not worth showing.”

On Ryan Murphy:

“Yes, I watched his swim. I saw him perform at the Olympics in Rio, where he set a world record in the relay race, looked now as he performed at Pan Pacific, where at a distance of 100 m he swam out of 52 seconds – the best result of the season in the world. Murphy is an outstanding spinner of our time. I’m already thinking about how we will meet with him, if, of course, everything will be fine, next year at the World Championships and at the Olympics in Tokyo.”

On training in the United States:

“In the Russian team, many people are being offered to go to study and train in the US. They closely follow us. I had such offers. There were thoughts on this matter. But since there are two years left before the Olympics, I would not like to change something in my way of life. Moreover, it is so crucial to go to another country, to another coach, to a new society. I will prepare for Tokyo in Russia in the conditions that are now. The results are, progress is also – I will not change anything.”

Former Marlins of Raleigh coach Nick Walkotten has been arrested and accused of having inappropriate contact with a child under the age of 15.

The 32-year-old Walkotten was arrested this week and charged with five sex offenses. The local ABC affiliate reports that the incidents allegedly took place between June 1 and August 1. The News & Observer reports that Wakotten is charged with five sex crimes: one felony count of indecent liberties with a child and four counts of statutory sex offense with a child under 15.

Walkotten had previously been a coach with the Marlins of Raleigh since August of 2015. He was a collegiate swimmer at Indiana and South Carolina, and had also coached for UNC – Wilmington and YMCA of the Triangle. We reached out to Marlins of Raleigh head coach Paul Silver, and while he hasn’t yet provided us official comment, he did tell 11ABC that Walkotten was terminated two weeks ago when the club was made aware of the allegations. Silver told 11ABC that he contacted police immediately after hearing about the incident.

WRAL.com reports that Walkotten was being held on $2 million bond and was schedule for a court appearance today.

How well did the US team perform at Pan Pacs? There was a lot of concern and speculation over the effects of the long trip to Japan without sufficient time to acclimate to the time change as well as the short gap between Nationals and Pan Pacs. To that end, I thought it would be interesting to look at performance differences from Nationals to Pan Pacs. Pan Pacs is the major international meet of this calendar year, so the goal is surely for the US team to perform at its best there. Did they improve on their times from Irvine in Tokyo? There are certainly many confounding factors, and we have no way of knowing who was rested and to what extent at each meet (although obviously no one is ever rested). To simplify even further, I went ahead and just took the fastest time everyone recorded at each meet rather than just worrying about Prelims vs Finals. This isn’t entirely unreasonable, as for the US, the “B” Final at Pan Pacs is pretty significant too – and even Prelims for some events had the same kind of pressure attached to it!

Just looking at this one pair of meets gives us one data point, which wouldn’t say much of anything, so I also took as comparison the two previous years’ pairs: 2017 Nationals vs 2017 Worlds, and 2016 Olympic Trials vs 2016 Olympics. Sometimes, an image can convey the message quickest. Here is a boxplot looking at the improvement in times from the national meet to the international meet, by year:

A negative number on the y-axis indicates that a swimmer in an event improved from Nationals to the appropriate International meet (the Olympics in 2016, Worlds in 2017, and Pan Pacs this year). In 2016-7, the meat of the distribution is the same: half of the data is from about a -0.72% to +0.24% (that is, a 0.7% improvement to a 0.2% regression). In 2018, this box shifts up by nearly a half percent, having a range of -0.28% to +0.68%.

This year, there were 117 event-swims in common between Nationals and Pan Pacs, with the median time being a 0.2% regression. Just 50 of the 117 swims (42.7%) improved from Nationals to Pan Pacs. By comparison, in 2017, the median time was a 0.1% improvement – with 40 of the 66 event-swims (60.6%) having improved at Worlds. And 2016 was even better, with a median time being a whopping 0.4% improvement – with 31 of the 52 swims (59.6%) having improved.

If instead of looking right around zero change, we took a look at how often swimmers drop a half percent (for instance, Ryan Murphy’s 200 back improvement from 1:54.15 to 1:53.57 is 0.51%), that happened in 20/117 swims this year (17.1%), but 22/66 in 2017 (33.3%) and 23/52 in 2016 (44.2%). It’s not just that people dropped time at all more often in the previous two years, it’s also that they dropped a healthy chunk of time much more often too.

While the headline story of Pan Pacs going away will probably be our performance in the relays, and the commentator’s performance in announcing them, I can’t help but wonder how this meet would’ve played out if we gave ourselves more time in between Nationals and Pan Pacs, or more time to adjust to the time difference. The athletes themselves aren’t making excuses for their personal performances, but maybe we should?

Swimming Canada has confirmed to SwimSwam that both Jade Hannah and Faith Knelson won’t compete at the upcoming Junior Pan Pacific Championships due to injury. Both swimmers compete for Island Swimming in Victoria, British Columbia.

Neither athlete was on the initial roster put in place after the Canadian Championships in April, as they were off competing at the Commonwealth Games in Australia, but were both added to the official roster after they failed to qualify for the Pan Pac team at the Canadian Trials in July.

The 16-year-old Hannah was well off her personal bests at the Trials in the 100 and 200 back, placing 5th and 6th overall respectively. At the Commonwealth Games, she was a finalist in both the 50 and 100 back, placing 7th and 8th, and last summer won gold in the 50 and bronze in the 100 at the World Junior Championships in Indianapolis.

Knelson, also 16, had a pair of 3rd place finishes at the Trials in Edmonton to narrowly miss making the Pan Pac team. Like Hannah, she made a pair of finals at the Commonwealth Games in April, including a very impressive 4th place finish in the 100 breast. She also won two individual silvers at the World Juniors last summer. Both Hannah and Knelson added a pair of relay golds to their collection in Indy as well.

If the two of them were competing next week in Fiji, Knelson would be seeded 1st in the 100 breast and 4th in the 200, while Hannah would be going in 2nd in the 100 and 4th in the 200 back. Neither swimmer is listed on the psych sheets, which can be found here.

USA Swimming Scholastic All-American and NISCA All-American Rachel Rhee has announced her verbal commitment to UCLA for the fall of 2019. Rhee is from San Diego, California. A rising senior at La Costa Canyon High School, she swims for her school and her club team Ranch San Dieguito.

“UCLA is a perfect fit for me as both a student and as an athlete. The environment is perfect for the career I want to pursue as a student-athlete and I am looking forward to be working with the coaching staff and to be apart [sic] of the UCLA family. I would have never gotten here without the support of my family, friends, coaches, and my RSD family!! GO BRUINS!!”

Rhee is a 6-time individual CIF-San Diego Section Division II champion in the 50 and 200 freestyle events. She first won the events as a freshman, going a Division II record-breaking time of 23.44 in the 50 and 1:48.12 in the 200. The next year she broke the Section record in the 50 with 23.19 and won the 200 in 1:49.02. This past season, as a junior, she again broke the Section and D2 records in the 50 (23.05) and won another 200 title (1:47.47). She also led off La Costa Canyon’s winning 400 free relay (51.18) and anchored the winning 200 medley relay (23.00).

Rhee is coming off a strong showing at 2018 Speedo Summer Juniors, where she placed 7th in the 50 free (26.11), 15th in the 100 breast (1:11.98), 22nd in the 100 free (57.28), and 22nd in the 200 free (2:03.87). She also swam on a pair of RSD top-16 relays. She went PBs in the 50 free (26.09) and 100 breast (1:11.15) in prelims and in the 100 free (56.46) leading off the 400 free relay.

Top SCY times:

• 50 free – 23.05
• 100 free – 50.36
• 200 free – 1:47.47
• 500 free – 4:50.44
• 100 breast – 1:03.16
• 200 breast – 2:17.17

Rhee will join the already-committed Brooke Schaffer, Daniella Hawkins, Lauryn Johnson, Lindsay Stenstrom, and Sophia Kosturos in the UCLA class of 2023.

As a part of our Research, Development and Innovation functions, Olympic Training Center Rovaniemi is running a competitive swimming development program called ‘Modern Dryland Training’. It started from a simple idea of creating better solutions for dryland training for swimmers and coaches globally. Along the way, the focus has shifted to a bigger picture. Today it seems paramount, that we also raise topics that have a modern approach about the synergy of dryland and pool training.

There is a saying in swimming that is almost a myth: “Feel for the water”. Even though there is no single definition for this saying, it seems that everyone involved in swimming automatically understand what is stands for. Sometimes the connection is so strong that swimmer seems to be one with the water. This is how we see our elite swimmers, fluent and effortless in the water.

Every now and then, you can hear a swimmer saying that they have lost the feel for the water, or that the swim feels really sticky. For almost two years now, we have been studying this phenomenon. What we have learned is that besides the feel for the water, swimmer should think about the rhythm, because without it you are not able to feel. Rhythm can also been seen as coordination.

When you look at a swimmer from a rhythm/coordination point of view, you can understand their performance capabilities better. It creates a better understanding of how elite swimmers do what they do. It can also explain what they still don’t do, and, as the best of them still push boundaries forward, we have not seen the fastest performances yet. Enhanced understanding of these abilities makes them also teachable. As we are just about to start a research project looking deeper into this, we feel excited to start creating a swimming analysis system that will give us a completely new understanding of performance.

In making new advancements we have to remember that it is not all about the high performance side of the sport, but how we influence our juniors growing up towards their best performance. Skills should be built to a lasting foundation, just like conditioning so that we can reach new levels of performance. Here is a great exercise to assess and create a better rhythm and coordination abilities.

Current state of swimming

We are two years away from the 2020 Olympics and despite the new world records, the overall advancements in swimming have not been as good as hoped. Here is a short review where we are currently:

A + B + C + D= Performance (and all the variables that led to it)

In this equation, the things that make the performance are unknown. All we know is the end result, which is the same as what happened. Therefore, this equation represents all current competition analyses. The downside of this is that it leaves us guessing what actually made the performance. Yes, we do know the variables like frequency, DPS, turn time, reaction time, etc., and as important they are they are, that is still not the complete answer.

Stroke cycle analysis + B + C + D = Performance (and all the variables that led to it)

To be able to develop further and understand the performance better, we need to resolve the A, B, C and D. There are few solutions in the market that have made a good effort to advance in creating a better understanding. As they have developed nicely in their process, they are still stuck resolving only one fourth of the puzzle. Let’s keep pushing and finding the remaining answers.

Olympic Training Center Rovaniemi is one of the six Olympic Training Center’s in Finland. Together with a diverse network of Universities, sports federations and associations, research institutes and other experts, we are able to offer a wide level of education in multiple fields of sports and well-being as well as in different sports. 

Santasport Swimming is growing International research development and innovation program for swimming. Our goal is that in the next five years we will run research on both learn to swim and high- performance swimming using our previous experience and soon to be built new aquatic facility. Thru our research work, we are hoping to offer new insights on swimming development.

Jacquie Price, who hails from Springfield, Oregon, is headed back to her home state after two years in Indiana. Price was a member of former head coach Matt Leach’s inaugural class at Indiana State University. She graduated from Thurston High School in 2016, having placed 2nd in the 100 fly (54.79) and 3rd in the 500 free (4:55.10) at the Oregon 6A State Championships her senior year.

While at Indiana State, Price broke school records in the 100 fly and 200 fly and was a member of two record-setting relays. She placed 7th in the 100 fly (55.80) at Missouri Valley Conference her freshman year, then followed up with a 4th in the same event (55.09), a 2nd in the 200 fly (2:00.63), and a 20th in the 500 free (5:04.61) as a sophomore. Price was named to the 2017-18 All-MVC team.

Leach left Indiana State in July to take over the head coaching position at Washington State. He was named the Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year last season after leading the Sycamores to a 13-6 dual meet record and a 4th-place finish out of 8 teams at the conference championships.

Price will have 2 years of eligibility left when she joins the Beavers in the fall. Oregon State finished 9th of 9 teams at the 2018 Pac-12 Championships.

Price’s best SCY times include:

• 200 fly – 2:00.63
• 100 fly – 54.79
• 500 free – 4:54.94
• 200 free – 1:54.33
• 100 free – 52.95
