Erica Rose of Cleveland Heights won the Manhattan Island Marathon swim finishing 28.5-mile course in 7 hours, and 29 minutes around Manhattan. Erica developed a passion for swimming at a very young age, and she proved her record by winning on Saturday in New York. Erica wore a GPS tag, so you could pinpoint every stroke of the race. The race is the longest swimming event in the world. It began and ended at South Cove in Battery Park City.Erica was a world champion swimmer before she could even drive. When she was 15-years-old she won the 5K Open Water Championship in Perth, Australia. She has earned 10 national open water titles, four Pan-American titles and one Pan-Pacific titles in distances ranging from 5K to 25K. Erica competed professionally in the World Cup and Grand Prix race series, swimming in oceans in Argentina, Japan, Spain, Italy, United Arab Emirates, and Canadian lakes as well as other places around the world. She has also won the Alcatraz Shark Fest, a race from San Francisco to the former island penitentiary in shark-infested waters. Erica now lives in Ann Arbor, where she works for the University of Michigan in its Development Office. She came out of a three-year retirement from professional swimming to participate in the Manhattan Island Marathon Race. Erica also swims in fundraising events for the U.S. Swimming Make-a-Splash program which teaches disadvantaged children how to swim.
Shane is another great Australian swimmer in the world swimming. It is still a mystery that in spite of having a great skill and potential, she retired at the age of 16. However, within her short appearance in the swimming pool, she could able to show her ability to be one of the greatest in the history of swimming. In her only Olympic games appearance in 1972 in Munich she won 5 medals including 3 gold. At that time she was just 15 years old. In that competition she became a part of the history of the women’s swimming winning the three Olympic gold medals with world record in each for the first time in women’s swimming. Her greatness in swimming was proved in the way of her winning all of the Freestyle events from 100m to 1500m with new world record in each. The number of award she got in her short career can be another world record (though I am not sure). She became the Best Sportswoman in the World in 1971 and Australian of the Year in 1972. Later, Order of the British Empire and Olympic Order adorned her award cage.

International swimmer Ben Lecomte http://twitpic.com/5fo92o
In September 1998, the French swimmer Ben Lecomte became the first swimmer to cross the Atlantic Ocean unaided. The swimmer took 78 days to cross the Atlantic, swimming for 6 to 8 hours each day. Lecomte completed the swim using an ocean device consisting of a 25 ft electromagnetic field which protected him from sharks and was followed closely by a support boat. He stopped for one week part way through the swim to rest for a week at the Azores mid-Atlantic after suffering from exhaustion, but defenders say it would have been impossible for the human body to stay in the water for 78 days straight and claim his record breaking title was well deserved.

Erica developed a passion for swimming at a very young age, and she proved her record by winning on Saturday in New York. Erica wore a GPS tag, so you could pinpoint every stroke of the race. The race is the longest swimming event in the world. It began and ended at South Cove in Battery Park City.Erica was a world champion swimmer before she could even drive. When she was 15-years-old she won the 5K Open Water Championship in Perth, Australia. She has earned 10 national open water titles, four Pan-American titles and one Pan-Pacific titles in distances ranging from 5K to 25K. Erica competed professionally in the World Cup and Grand Prix race series, swimming in oceans in Argentina, Japan, Spain, Italy, United Arab Emirates, and Canadian lakes as well as other places around the world. She has also won the Alcatraz Shark Fest, a race from San Francisco to the former island penitentiary in shark-infested waters. Erica now lives in Ann Arbor, where she works for the University of Michigan in its Development Office.

Shane Gould
Shane is another great Australian swimmer in the world swimming. It is still a mystery that in spite of having a great skill and potential, she retired at the age of 16. However, within her short appearance in the swimming pool, she could able to show her ability to be one of the greatest in the history of swimming. In her only Olympic games appearance in 1972 in Munich she won 5 medals including 3 gold. At that time she was just 15 years old. In that competition she became a part of the history of the women’s swimming winning the three Olympic gold medals with world record in each for the first time in women’s swimming. Her greatness in swimming was proved in the way of her winning all of the Freestyle events from 100m to 1500m with new world record in each. The number of award she got in her short career can be another world record (though I am not sure). She became the Best Sportswoman in the World in 1971 and Australian of the Year in 1972. Later, Order of the British Empire and Olympic Order adorned her award cage.

Ben Lecomte
http://twitpic.com/5fo92o
In September 1998, the French swimmer Ben Lecomte became the first swimmer to cross the Atlantic Ocean unaided. The swimmer took 78 days to cross the Atlantic, swimming for 6 to 8 hours each day. Lecomte completed the swim using an ocean device consisting of a 25 ft electromagnetic field which protected him from sharks and was followed closely by a support boat. He stopped for one week part way through the swim to rest for a week at the Azores mid-Atlantic after suffering from exhaustion, but defenders say it would have been impossible for the human body to stay in the water for 78 days straight and claim his record breaking title was well deserved.

César Cielo
ReplyDeleteCésar Augusto Cielo Filho (born January 10, 1987 in Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian professional swimmer who specializes in sprint events. He is the most successful Brazilian swimmer in history, having obtained two Olympic medals, four World Championships gold medals and breaking a world record within a one-year span.[1]
Cielo is the current world record holder in the 100 meter and 50 meter freestyle. His gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics, in the 50 meter freestyle competition, is Brazil's sole Olympic gold in swimming to date.
Career
Cielo began his career at small swimming clubs in his native state. As a young teenager, Cielo trained at the Esporte Clube Barbarense under coach Mario Francisco Sobrinho. When he was 13, Cielo started training in Piracicaba at the Clube de Campo de Piracicaba under coach Reinaldo Rosa. At the age of 16, he transferred to Esporte Clube Pinheiros, in São Paulo, to train and develop with coach Alberto Silva and Brazilian swimming legend Gustavo Borges. In 2005, he received a scholarship from Auburn University, in the United States, where he trains under Australian coach Brett Hawke. Cielo competed for eight-time NCAA National Champion Auburn Tigers' Swimming and Diving team. He was also tutored by short-distance specialist Fernando Scherer in 2008.
Nowadays, Cielo is sponsored by Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, Arena and Correios. He represents Flamengo in Brazilian competitions, and also trains there, when in Brazil.
[edit]NCAA
He currently holds the NCAA and U.S. Open record for the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events, set at the 2008 NCAA Division 1 Swimming and Diving Championships. At Auburn, Cielo won six National Championship events, including sweeping the 2007 50 and 100 freestyle championships. Cielo gave up his fourth and final year of NCAA eligibility, becoming a professional swimmer.
International competitions
Cielo placed sixth and fourth in the 50 m and 100 m freestyle, respectively, at the 2007 Swimming World Championships in Melbourne. At the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, he won three gold medals in the 50 m, 100 m and 4x100 m freestyle, and a silver medal in the 4x100 m medley. Cielo went on to the 2008 Summer Olympics, where he received the bronze medal in 100 m freestyle, tied with American swimmer Jason Lezak, and set the Olympic record in 50 m freestyle during the semifinals (21.34). He lowered this further in the finals, winning the gold medal with the time of 21.30, and missing the world record by 0.02 second.
The 2009 World Championships, in Rome, had Cielo winning the 50 m and 100 m freestyle, the third swimmer to achieve this feat in a single World Championship, after Anthony Ervin and Alexander Popov. Popov and Cielo are the only two swimmers to win Olympic and World Championship gold medals in the 50 m freestyle in succession.[2] Cielo also broke the 100 m freestyle world record in Rome.
On 18 December 2009 he broke the 50 m freestyle world record with 20.91 s at a championship hosted in Esporte Clube Pinheiros,[3] his club in Brazil and where he trained since 2003.
He is also the current holder of the US Open record in the 100yd freestyle (40.92 s) and the 50yd freestyle (18.47 s). It is of note that these performances were done in textile suits, not in the later polyurethane models.(Although he should have won)

JOSEPH ERIC BUHAIN
Joseph Eric Buhain (born April 12, 1970) is the chairman of the Philippines' Games and Amusement Board.
Buhain is also popular among Filipinos as a champion swimmer, where he hauled several Southeast Asian Games medals to the Philippines.
Eric ventured into swimming not because he dreamed of winning an Olympic gold medal, but because his doctor advised him to venture into sports to improve his lungs. Eric was born with Primary Lung Complex.
He enrolled in a two-week swimming program at the age of seven. Yet his training was breached by another illness, hepatitis. However, this didn't stop him. A year later, he was training again and taking the advance course in swimming, the competitive course, at age nine. It was at this age that he got into the varsity swimming team of De La Salle-Santiago Zobel School and vowed to win a gold medal in the sport.
By 1981, he was a member of the Philippine Team and swam in the 400-meter individual medley at age eleven. But it was in his first Southeast Asian Games in 1985, held in Bangkok, Thailand, where he snatched the gold in the same category at the tender age of fifteen.
In the 1989 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, he broke one of the existing SEA Games swimming records. In the 1991 Southeast Asian Games, where the Philippines was the host, he made a huge contribution to the gold medal record of the host country by winning most of the events in swimming. With great jubilation, he was chosen to represent the Philippines in the 1992 Summer Olympics.

In doing so he has twice equaled the record eight medals of any type at a single Olympics achieved by Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin at the 1980 Moscow Summer Games. His five golds in individual events tied the single Games record set by Eric Heiden in the 1980 Winter Olympics and equaled by Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games. Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won in a single Olympics, his eight at the 2008 Beijing Games surpassed American swimmer Mark Spitz's seven-gold performance at Munich in 1972. Phelps' Olympic medal total is second only to the 18 Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina won over three Olympics, including nine gold. Furthermore, he holds the all-time record for most individual gold Olympic medals, at nine.
Phelps's international titles and record breaking performances have earned him the World Swimmer of the Year Award six times and American Swimmer of the Year Award eight times. He has won a total of fifty-nine medals in major international competition, fifty gold, seven silver, and two bronze spanning the Olympics, the World, and the Pan Pacific Championships.
