Lane 4 - ESPN W has "Janet Evans inspires today's stars. In 2007, American swimmer Kate Ziegler broke Janet Evans' 1988 world record in the 1,500-meter freestyle. Ziegler calls Evans 'a mentor, hero and legend.' One year later, U.S. swimmer Katie Hoff broke Evans' 1988 U.S. record in the 400 freestyle. Hoff calls Evans 'the best distance swimmer ever.' At the 2012 Olympics in London, Ziegler, 23, and Hoff, 22, may be calling Janet Evans 'teammate.' One of the most decorated distance swimmers in history is making a comeback. At 40 years old, Evans is once again trying to do the impossible."
Lane 5 - The Reporter has "Vacaville dad, daughter set to swim from Alcatraz. At home in the water as well as the soccer field, 15-year-old Rachel Blackman of Vacaville will put her sea skills to the ultimate test on Sunday when she dives into the icy depths of San Francisco Bay during a competitive 1.25 mile open water swim from Alcatraz. Thrilled about participating in the challenging 16th Annual Alcatraz Invitational Swim, the Vacaville High School sophomore
is equally enthused about her swim partner, who also happens to be her father."
Lane 6 - The Canberra Times has "Eamon Sullivan: A talent out of the water. Swimmer Eamon Sullivan is serious about food, an interest that began as a child in training. You wonder whether Eamon Sullivan would ever have won Cleo's ''bachelor of the year'' award in April if the women of Australia didn't know he could cook. As one of the country's best swimmers - he won silver and bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics - Sullivan already had a solid fan base. But when he served up his chocolate delice on Celebrity MasterChef in 2009 he won the hearts, or perhaps the stomachs, of a whole new audience. Sullivan is just back from the FINA World Championships in Shanghai, where he won gold as part of the 4x100m freestyle relay team. He's barely had time to dry himself off and he's out there promoting his latest venture, a cookbook, Eamon's Kitchen."
Lane 7 - The Manly Daily posts "Master and commander of 1500m swim. MEET the swimmer who is so darn good that he recently achieved not one but two state records in the same race. Peter Kaupert, 69, swam the race of his life on Sunday when he came first in the 70-74 age category - which includes the year of birth, making Kaupert eligible - of the 1500m race at the NSW Long Distance Short Course Championships."
Lane 8 - Gary Hall Sr posts (w/video) over at Slowtwitch "What do I do with my hands while swimming? t seems like a simple question. Yet, I am surprised by how many people don’t quite know what to do with their hands either underwater on the pull or above water on the recovery. For both parts of the stroke cycle, it is important that you know."
