It's supposed to be a secret, but what will the boy swim this summer? Definite, TRIALS 200 fly 200 IM 400 IM 200 free (especially for 800 free relay) Probable, TRIALS 100 fly (especially for 400 medley relay) 100 free Maybe, TRIALS 200 back 400 free??? (I have NO idea; it doesn't seem like he's training for it) Definite, BEIJING 200 fly 200 IM 400 IM But what would his other 2 individual events be? EDIT: mod edited for me!

  • he won't swim the 50 fr, 1,500 fr, 100 br, & 200 br he could swim the 400 free but probably not Michael will to swim the 100 & 200 fly 200 & 400 IM 200 free he has an excellent 100 & 200 back so probably the 200 back & 100 backstroke he comes home amazingly fast in the both the 100 & 200 bk probably the 100 free so he will have a time from Olympic Trials to get on the 4 x 100 relay and not have the controversy he faced in 2004 where he didn't swim the 100 free but swam it on a relay at the Olympics much to Gary Hall's dismay and protest. I would have him swim it once, post a blazing time then scratch the semi's and finals, but he'll probably swim all the way through He's amazing at back to back events in the same session It's supposed to be a secret, but what will the boy swim this summer?
