Craig Beardsley Featured on the Morning Swim Show
Great interview by Garrett featuring my good friend Craig Beardsley.

Swimming Picture of the Week 2 - Sept. 9, 2008
No matter how many times you see an Olympic Medal, it's still very cool. Matt Grevers was kind enough to bring his two Golds and Silver to the ASCA conference last week. I had to stand on a chair to be eye level with him, but fortunately, he's a very nice guy.
