USC head coach Dave Salo is ending his career leading the Trojans with a bang. After 14 seasons leading the Trojans, Salo will end his career there as the Pac-12 Women’s Coach of the Year. Salo announced earlier this year that he would step down from his role as the head men’s and women’s coach of the varsity team at the end of the NCAA Championship meet . At the time, that included a commitment to continue coaching Olympic hopefuls through the Tokyo Games, though that timeline is now looking very different than when it was first presented. Salo says that he will continue preparing f ...

Year 2 of the International Swimming League is scheduled to begin in September (though, all things scheduled at the moment are prone to being rescheduled due to the global coronavirus pandemic). With a jump from 8 to 10 teams in the 2020-2021 league, and an expansion from 7 meets to 27, there is going to be a dramatic rise in the need for athletes to fill rosters in the new season. In year 1, teams were limited to 32 swimmers (16 male and 16 female) on their rosters, though most teams wound up announcing more athletes than that. In year 2, with more meets probably resulting in more c ...

Erika Brown has had an incredible rise over her four-year career at Tennessee. After being a relay-only swimmer at the NCAA Championships as a freshman, the Lady Vol broke out as a sophomore, winning three individual SEC titles and placing second at NCAAs in the 50 free and 100 fly. After anchoring the Vols to a national title in the 200 medley relay at last season’s NCAAs to go along with three top-five finishes individually, Brown helped lead the school to its first Women’s SEC Championship win.

Sophie Hansson looked on as her sister, Louise Hansson , claimed two NCAA championships, turning heads with her stunning performances. But she wasn’t the only Hansson to put together stunning performances at the NCAA championships. Sophie Hansson was just a freshman and finished third in both breaststroke events for NC State. It was an adjustment moving from Sweden to the U.S., starting a college life with a new team. “I feel pretty good. Last year as a freshman, there were a lot of adjustments and it took a while before my body accepted that,” Sophie Hansson told .
