Swimming News!

It's been a while since there's been anything new to report swimming-wise for Ryan, but finally there's something small but signficant to write about.

Someone on Daily Reezy referenced a recent interview with Mark Schubert, director of the U.S. National Team, that contained the following quote:

Ryan Lochte is the best swimmer in the world except for Phelps, Schubert said. Lochte told Schubert, "I'm going to keep swimming until I beat Michael Phelps. A lot."

The article also quoted Schubert as saying Michael Phelps resumed training in November and not January as has been widely reported.

I can't wait for Ryan and Michael to race again. It's great to hear that Ryan still has such a strong desire to compete and win. Michael is supposed to return to competition at the Grand Prix event in Austin, TX in March. Hopefully they will both be there.
