Olympian. Record-breaker. Flag bearer.Mark Foster was the fastest swimmer in Britain by 15, and one of the most enduring sprinters this country has ever produced.

Julie counters with her medley comeback set, the one that got her back into rac...

Two coaches that have been around a while and take on the topic of swim meets. Why are they less fun, more expensive and more time consuming? It not hard to find people that think this is true, but much more rare finding people that are willing to do something about it.
