New Faces in Olympic Womens Swim
There are going to be a lot of new faces in the USA swimteam this year. Many of the older guard, the well known names of women swim are having trouble making the US swim team, opening up spots for many talented younger swimmers. Here are a few faces you may not recognize, but chances are you will come to know if you are a fan of swim.
Ryan Lochte -Michael Phelps Slayer?
Michael Phelps may have a bit of a hard time repeating his amazing performance of the past Olympics. Mainly due to his teammate Ryan Lochte.
Ryan is not new to swimming. He has been a world class swimmer for a while now, but up until this point he has most been, "the best swimmer who is not named 'Michael Phelps'".
After this coming Olympics, that may no longer be true. In the Olympic Trials Phelps and Lochte battled head to head on numerous events. Coming in neck-to-neck and blowing away the competition. But Lochte seemed to come out on the winning end more often than not. Expect Lochte to come away with a nice collection of Gold medals, and at least a couple of victories over team-mate and sometime rival, Michael Phelps.

Dara Torres and her 6th try for the US Olympic Team
Dara Torres is almost a freak of nature.
She became the oldest female Olympic Swimmer at 33. The same year she brought home the most medals in her career.
At 41 in Beijing became the oldest Olympian of ANY sport and brought home 3 more silver medals. Now she is attempting to come back again, and will likely make it, at 45... an age where most Olympians are hoping their children are doing well in the Olympics.
So Dara Torres is almost a freak of nature. But she is a freak of nature that is an inspiration to us all, and someone we can all look up to and use as an inspiration as our aging bones cry out enough! Dana shows us what is possible with proper diet, exercise and one heck of a lot of hard work. Good Luck Dana in making the 2012 Olympic team and good luck becoming (once again) the Oldest winning Olympian if you do make the team.
