Notes:

You'll recall that Gregg Troy has retired from the college program, but is still coaching a few elite club athletes in Florida.

Maxime Rooney left Florida and is now with Eddie Reese at Texas.

Anthony Nesty (Suriname) won gold in the 1988 Seoul Games in the 100 butterfly.  He beat Team USA's Matt Biondi by a hundredth of a second.

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Jack Bauerle's points of emphasis for long IM training/racing:

• High pain tolerance does not just happen, it has to be worked for.
• Speed into walls equals speed out of walls.
• Fly - Breathe
• Back - Tempo
• Breast - Build
• Free - 6 beat kick and finish
• Even splitting the strokes
• Have to be willing to work on hard stroke.
• IM work in practice with double and triple pullouts to build air capacity when tired (distance off walls).
• Yardage swum in IM and transition kick sets.
