Sheri Hart is an incredible athlete no doubt...I've had the pleasure of getting my ass kicked by here in workouts as well as meets!
Another incredible female athlete is Noriko Inada who trains/coaches at Brophy. Noriko kicked the crap out of almost all the women AND men last summer at masters nationals....
Nori is a 3 time Olympian from Japan who at 30 years old, training 5x a week without weights qualifed first (at 30 years old) in the 100 back at 53.3 for this past weeks US nationals...ended up swimming about the saem time in finals coming in 6th.
Nori & Kohei both train VERY differently than most elite masters and/or US swimmers i've come across...about 70% of the weeks training is technique based with speed work done on weekends at meets...usually with a specific "task" for each swim. For example if front half speed is the focus than they enter the 100 back/fly and swim the first 50 at "50" race pace then shut down and come home on cruise speed with perfect technique...its been fascinating taining with them!
