Kate Ledecky, 14 of Curl-Burke, broke 2 13-14 NAG yards records at the
5th Annual National Age Group Team Challenge held at the Germantown Indoor Swim Center Nov 12-13.
She broke a 33-year-old record in the 500 freestyle 4:35.14 held by Sippy Woodhead from 1978 4:39.94

Natalie COUGHLIN...swam impressive times in the 1 fl, bk, & br
I'm really impressed with her 100 ***. She swam a 1:00.29! Breaststroke was always her weak stroke before. I guess it still is, but obviously not much of a weakness anymore. If she doesn't swim the 200 IM at Olympic Trials I'll be very disappointed. What an amazing swimmer she is.
No question Laura is very special, but, nothing comes easy, she trains a monster weekly schedule and earns these records with tremendous work.
New Swim Faster Faster Tip
train a monster weekly schedule and earn your accomplishments with tremendous work
I'd love to see what her schedule looks like.
Sounds like she's fully embraced SFF Tip 265 for years
At the US Swimming nationals (LC meters)
Ed Moses - 31
100 *** - 1:02.11
200 *** - 2:14.5
these break the old listed records, but also Brendan Hansen is listed as age 30, so his times:
100 *** - 1:00.31
200 *** - 2:09.64
are the new records for that age group - and as he continues his comeback, we can expect even faster this summer.

As far as I can tell, the last time Hansen registered for USMS was in 2006. (Non-members cannot set USMS records.)
