Guess who swam 2 lanes down from me at my noon workout?!
Kristy Kowal, Maritza Correia, Maggie Bowen and Scott Tucker!!!!
I was awestruck. I could hardly swim for watching them. They were testing some new suits for Speedo. I just had to share this with people that understood my excitement!! These are some of the best swimmers in the US! Maybe some of their speed will be transported to me by osmosis!! :D

They have a patent pending on a structural element that can improve a swimmer's time by decreasing the force water exerts on swimmers, called "drag," by 10 percent when incorporated into the swimsuit design.
