way in using film for analyzing and<br />
improving stroke technique. He also<br />
introduced interval training, isotonic<br />
exercise, Bernoulli’s Principle, the<br />
pace clock and hypoxic conditioning<br />
to the sport. He was a master at motivating<br />
his swimmers to work harder,<br />
admonishing them that “it only hurts<br />
once—from beginning to end—” and<br />
teaching them to take pride in their<br />
ability to train harder than others. His<br />
leadership, prestige and persuasion<br />
were critical factors in the emergence<br />
of both the International <strong>Swimming</strong><br />
Hall of Fame and the American<br />
<strong>Swimming</strong> Coaches Association.<br />

Oops!<br />
In the “2003 <strong>World</strong> and American<br />
Record Progression” feature that ran<br />
in the December issue of <strong>Swimming</strong><br />
<strong>World</strong>, we inadvertently left out two<br />
American short course meters records<br />
set last year. Here they are:<br />
Women’s 400 Meter Freestyle<br />
Old Record: 4:00.30, Lindsay Benko,<br />
Berlin, 1-27-02<br />
New Record: 3:59.53w, Lindsay<br />
Benko, Berlin, 1-26-03<br />
Men’s 100 Meter Butterfly<br />
Old Record: 52.00, Nate Dusing,<br />
Minneapolis, 3-24-00<br />
New Record: 51.55s, Ben Michaelson,<br />
Wilton, 6-22-03<br />
In our December issue, we inadvertently<br />
misspelled Hasty High Pointer<br />
Andre De Negra’s last name. It should<br />
read Andre DeNegri. Andre swims for<br />
the Multnomah Athletic Club in<br />
Oregon.<br />
