At the risk of getting beaten up over this, I was wondering how all you 100 free experts would plan a race to beat a 40 year old with crazy strength. I am a fan of Dara Torres, but if I was kid working every day to just a get one shot at the Olympics, I would be super motivated to beat her. From a coach's perspective I would say, "Work to put that old gal back into retirement!!"
Ideas?
Crocker made the 2000 team with no 50 meter pool in his state (Maine). Most if not all of the girls that are in contention with Dara and are legit threats will have access to LCM pools. Most if not all swimmers (including Dara) will probably swim a bunch of SCY too. That's the season we are rolling into and SCY nationals is this year which serves as trials for SCM worlds next spring. I would tend to think most if not all would be gunning for that meet for the experience.
Dara can be beaten. She is amazing on top of the water - she admits her underwaters suck. She can definitely be beaten underwater. SC gives swimmers a great chance to work on that.
GO DARA!!
