The Summer Olympics start at the end of this month, with the opening ceremony on July 27th, which means a renewed popularity for track and field, gymnastics, and swimming.
You can keep up to date on all the preparations and excitement of the London Olympics on the official website:
www.london2012.com
In honor of Olympic Fever, we've selected Swimming World Magazine as our Magazine of the Month. Swimming World Magazine has been in publication since 1960, and on their website you can browse a collection of all their cover images, as well as current articles, videos, and more
Michael Phelps is probably the most recognized name in swimming today, and he'll be trying for a spot on the 2012 Team, along with Dara Torres, Janet Evans, Amanda Weir, and dozens of other hopefuls. Because the Olympic Swim Team Trials are in progress, you'll want to check the results at USA Swimming to see if your favorites have made the cut
Carnegie-Stout also has a number of books on swimming that you might want to check out. From books for the competetive swimmer to books on swimming throughout life, from infancy to retirement.
And I can't write about swimming without mentioning Ben Lecomte and his ongoing quest to swim across the Pacific Ocean. You can follow his journey through his website: www.thelongestswim.com
