So sorry if this has already been mentioned elsewhere, but I read that the Charlotte UltaSwim Grand Prix is going to be televised and I definitely want to see it. Has anyone heard what station (or where online) they're going to be showing it? Thanks much!
Are you talking about the one that was in Swimming World a few months ago?
I don't have Swimming world but the Splash Nation that you get with your USS ID. I haven't tried it but I plan to.
Just caught Phelps in the 200 prelims. He came in 3rd in his heat
Third in his heat? I hope he was just using the 200 as a warmup!
edit: just looked at prelim results and he's third overall. I'm sure he just swam fast enough to make sure he made it finals. Also very slow swim for Lochte who didn't even make the big final.
Yeah, how about Aaron with a pretty slick 53 mid in the 100 fly. Who knew?
I always thought of Aaron Peirsol as a "just" a backstroker. He's swimming a bunch of other stuff at this meet as well.
Some pretty good articles/interviews posted to the Universal Sports website where they list the TV coverage.

Liked the quote from David Marsh in regard to the tech-suits influence on the times right now...
“Certainly technology plays into some degree,” Marsh added. “Even the sport science technology we have available to us. As soon as the Japanese swimmer broke that 200 back world record, we’re seeing it that same day. So as a coach, the next day we’re doing drills that emulate what the record holder did. I think that’s a lot of what’s going on. It’s not just the suits.”
Aaron is swimming some off events for fun. It IS that time of the season isn't it? I love this laid back kind of attitude!

Here's the one I'm thinking of, it's pretty brutal:
LCM
4 x 400 free IM RACE@6:30 (first 100 is afap freestyle instead of fly)
6 x 50 fly @45
3 x 400 free IM RACE@6:30
6 x 100 fly/bk @1:30
2 x 400 free IM RACE@6:30
6 x 150 fly/bk/br @2:15
1 x 400 free IM RACE @6:30
6 x 200 IM RACE @3:00
I was thinking of trying it SCY one day when I'm in the mood for a beat down. She does it LCM!

Cool, let the brutally in a workout begin.
Here is the IM distance set that I saw in Splash Nation that Beisel does:
3 x 400 IM
6 x 50 fly
2 x 400 IM
6 x 100 fly
1 x 400 IM
6 x 200 fly
It is somewhat similar. This is just more fly intensive.
I wish that Hoff would stay in the 400 IM. But, I think that Elizabeth Biesel can step up and put Rice and Coventry in their place.
My lunch money is on Dagny Knutson.
I don't get that with Dish Network! :censor:!!!!
Somebody You-tube it!
I have DISH, and in Boise, we don't get CBS. So my wife and I had to watch all the NCAA games at a bar. I can't imagine I will be able to watch any of these swims without finding them online somewhere.
Just caught Phelps in the 200 prelims. He came in 3rd in his heat and his stroke is the same as before--they're only changing it for the 50 and 100. He looked very smooth and wasn't even breathing hard at the end. Universalsports.com is switching back and forth from live swimming and cycling.
