When asked who my favorite swimmer was when I was little, with no hesitation, I would answer Natalie Coughlin. She qualified for every event at summer nationals when she was 16 years old.
She was the first woman to break a minute in the m backstroke. Not only has she embraced and helped the sport of swimming evolve, she has also given back to the sport and been a strong and powerful leader for young swimmers to look up to. Coughlin, born in Vallejo, California, started swimming at a very young age. Dedication, passion, and success in the sport allowed her to continue her career at the University of California-Berkeley. Today, she still has her name on the record board in multiple events including both backstroke and butterfly races, and the freestyle.
In addition to her decorated college career, Coughlin has had much success internationally and while representing Team USA. Her list of accomplishments is quite lengthy. In , at the Pan Pacific Championships, she won the gold medal in the m freestyle and contributed to the first place finish of the m freestyle relay.
That can mean a swim, a run, a hike, gardening or simply a long walk with my dogs. You mentioned you grow a lot of your own food. What does your diet mainly consist of? I eat mostly a plant-based diet. I like to include lots of fruits and vegetables. I eat meat, but I make sure to support farmers that humanely and sustainably raise their animals. Growing my own vegetables forced me to learn about seasonality.
Do you have any favorite indulgences? I love a glass of wine with dinner. My guilty pleasure is a juicy bratwurst, with onions and relish at a football game go Raiders!
Left Sidebar. Avatars by Sterling Adventures. Waller explained that passive drag occurs when the swimmer is submerged, and it is a measure of swimsuit resistance skin friction drag and the swimmer's body shape form drag. Conversely, active drag occurs at the water's surface, where swimmers spend most of their time. A swimmer has one additional force to combat at this level -- wave drag.
The system's primary component, the suit, is comprised of what Speedo calls "3D Zoned Compression. A contributor to forming a "straight line" is the "Body Stability Web," which is among 12 patents Speedo sought for Fastskin. Its framework includes bonded or sewn power seams that reduce water resistance and increase comfort and strength.
Comfort is a significant issue. The men's suit consists of a pair of knee-length trunks, but the women's version is a bodysuit entered through the neck hole and pulled on like a pair of pants. Waller said it took swimmers as long as an hour to put it on the first couple of times they tried it.
