Ryan Lochte and I right after he broke the American record in the Men's 200 IM

The energy here at the swim meet was high as the swimmers were warming up for tonight’s races. I adjusted quite a few swimmers pre-race and was excited to see how well they perform.

Michael Phelps broke yet another World Record last night. I was honored that he took the time to stop and grab a picture with me. He qualified for 4 events here at the Nationals. Tyler Clary also qualified for 3 events. I was able to have lunch with Peter Vanderkaay today, who raced last night and qualified for 2 events.  Ryan Lochte set a new American record in the Men’s 200 IM tonight and I was able to catch a great picture with him afterwards. He races again tomorrow night in the Men’s 200 M Backstroke.

Swimming is by far my favorite way to work out and have fun at the same time, so being here with these world class athletes is a real privilege.
