Siik I HiiiTn
It w.lmi t quite war ami pestilence. But it was illness and >quinvls.
Marco Chiesu ami 1 got the summer flu, which put us out of commission tor the List week of June. Squirrels chewed through our phone cables, which put the tax and internet hill's out of service for about four daw. This delayed our July issue by a week.
Marco Chiesa covered the Youth Champion- shipsin Regina, and took hundreds of pictures. It was . . (• ■ il meet >vith seven meet records. The cover was clinched by Morgan Knabe. EKSC, who bettered the Youth meet record in the 100 breast and then won the Janet Evans International in early July in Los Angeles with a 1:0.3. -R bettering the National Age Group record. A hot prospect indeed.
George Block, president of the American Swim- ming Coaches Association, outlines a possible solu- tion for drug use by linking financial rewards with systematic testing.
Cecil Colwin interviewed former butterfly world record holder and Olympic champion Pablo Morales on the secrets of his technique.
Karin Helmstaedt travelled to Germany and got inside the building where the former Stasi Archives \M?re kept. She even took photos of this extraordinary remnant of the cold war. She covered the German Nationals and explains in a related article what might be in store for those responsible for the GDR's state sponsored drug use in sport.
Karin attended the Mare Nostrum series in late May in the south of France where she interviewed Marianne Limpert. Upon her return to Canada in June, she also talked with Garret Pulle and his coach Paul Meronen.
The third and final TOP listings forthis year had another out-of-country team take part, the Lake Forest Swim Club, Illinois, submitted five 10 yearold girls who finished strongly in the 1500 free (all five ranked among the top 15).
Amanda Beard won two silvers in the individual breaststroke events last year at the Olympics at age 14. adding a gold as a member of the winning medley relay for ISA. Russ Ewald tells herstory, with emphasis on her technique.
.Anita Lonsbrough writes about backstroker Helen Don-Duncan and other news from the U.K.
Katharine Dunn writes about her Canada Games experience as she prepares to cover this year's com- petition from Brandon, MB.
TAG is up-to-date with all meets received as we go to press. Two meets from July are included, the Ontario Seniors and the Evans International.

WSCA CONFERENCE
FINANCIAL REWARDS PROPOSED FOR MAJOR COMPETITIONS
ONLY THOSE UNDERGOING SYSTEMATIC DRUG TESTING TO DE EUGIDLE
George Block
"The drug war cannot be won, at least not as we are fighting it now."
That distressing realization has been creeping over the directors of many of the International Olympic Com- mittee (IOC) labs, much of the FINA Medical Commis- sion, and the World Swimming Coaches Association (WSCA) Board of Directors eversince the (relatively drug- free) Atlanta Olympics.
The Short Course World Championshipsprovided the opportunity for the FINA Medical Committee and the FINA Drug Panel to meet, along with directors of some of the IOC certified labs.
The meeting in Goteborg provided the admission that the best that can be hoped for is "to keep a lid on a boiling pot. There will be frequent bubble-overs. Most of the boil will go unobserved, but at least it won't erupt," according to one member.
Under the current structure, the best we can hope for is to "play catch-up to the cheaters," explained anti-drug crusader, John Leonard. "But even then, we will stay 4 to 10 years behind."
According to some scientists, all the cheaters have to do is "rearrange one carbon atom and, although the compound will have exactly the same effect, we won't be testing for it."
Others, like Dr. Margie Shuer, believe that the more likely scenario is that already-available drugs will be converted to ergogenic uses, as was done by the Russians last summer with bromatan. "The anti-aging drugs that are widely prescribed in Europe are both easily available and performance enhancing," explained Dr. Shuer.
They are also (generally) not yet on the banned list.
Dr. Tim Henrich speculated that even more likely would be the transfer of "drugs from the veterinary side to the human side." "I screamed over 10 years ago about clenbuterol, but no one would listen. And now we have the stuff in (legal) asthma inhalers that causes significant hypertrophy of the non-fatiguable, fast-twitch fibres. That's the whole purpose of training and now you can get it on four or five 'hits' a day."
Not only has clenbuterol trickled down on the illegal side, HMB is there on the legal side, so his fears seem well- founded
To catch the cheaters, using the rules and structure that are in place today, would take a massive infusion of money. Probably billions of dollars per quadrennium.
Why? Because the current system is short term, sporadic, closed ended, mandatory, punishment based,
and secretive.
The system is short term, because only when athletes bubble up to the top 50 in the world is there even a chance of their being tested. And there is little real chance for anyone not in the top 10. The "China problem" included girls who were not ranked in the top ISO in the world suddenly emerging in the top 3, hence avoiding testing.
It is sporadic, because the system is random — by aiiport. A ranked athlete is selected randomly, then every- one in the near vicinity of that hub airport is tested. If you train in China's remote provinces, you might never be tested. If you live near LAX (the Los Angeles airport) , drink a lot of water.
"Closedended" refers to the banned list. Bromatan — the Russian drug of choice last summer — was not on the banned list, although it was known to be both a stimulant and a masking agent for steroids. When was it added to the banned list? Shortly after the International Court of Arbi- tration for Sport overturned the revocation of medals from the drugged Russian athletes, because thedrugwasnoton the banned list.
Bromatan was only the most recent example of the closed-end characteristics of the banned list. There have been dozens of examples of commonly used, perform- ance-enhancing drugs taking from 4 to 10 years to work their way on to the list of banned substances.
"Mandatory" and "punishment based" are quite obvious, but they are based on the same interdiction and punishment model that has proved to be an abysmal failure in dealing with street drugs in the United States.
In the US, we admit that we only catch an infinitesi- mal fraction of the illicit street drugs. The systemic re- sponse has been the same. Rewards for those involved with drugs is high. The cost of enforcement is bankrupting. Designer drugs are developed to stay one step ahead < if the legal system. Veterinary products are crossed over for human use. Drugs developed for one purpose are diverted and perverted to another, while naturally occurring sub- stances are abused unnaturally.
Both systems are secretive. In swimming, we don't know who was tested or what was found.
Tins was the sad set of realizations thai confronted the Board of Directors of the World Swimming Coaches' Association as they sat for their first meeting of their quadrennial clinic in Birmingham, England,
Apparently the two Executive Directors (John l,eonard, USA and Michael Ursu, Australia) had done their home- work, because the board — quickly and unanimously — approved a radically different world-wide strategy. The WSCA strategy is everything the current plan is not, which
is why so many coaches in Birmingham hope that it can succeed. The WSCA plan is: VOLUNTARY: Thisplan would basically create professional swimming at the highest levels of competition. The highest-level competitions in swimming — the Olympics, the World Championships, World Cups, etc. — would have significant financial re- wards, to a significant depth of competitor. In order to be eligible for these competitions and these rewards, an athlete and his or her coach would have to contract themselves to participate in a drug testing program. This program would be LONG TERM and INTENSIVE.
The WSCA will ask the directors of the various IOC labs, as well as a number of other internationally re- spected drug experts, just how long and how often an athlete would have to be tested in order to be certified as "clean" for international competition. Science will be the guide
The costs for the testing will be borne by the indi- vidual athlete, club, or federation This is the 'tickettothe dance." FINA money, a projected $2.8 million per quadrennium, would become the financial rewards.
The WSCA plan is OPEN ENDED. Although there would be both a banned list and a permitted list, the lists would be "fluid" (pardon the pun), not "static." When- ever the medical commission wanted to add (or delete ) a drug from the banned or permitted list, it could, and sanctions would not be limited to drugs on the list.
Whenever a non-permitted substance was found in the blood or urine (or perhaps the hair), an investigation would be triggered. If the substance was found to be performance enhancing, an athlete and coach would be sanctioned. This system only works because it is REWARD BASED. If a swimmer wants to reap the financial rewards (and they will be significant) and athletic rewards of elite swimming, the swimmer will commit to this system.
The WSCA would expect that the major, national federations would develop a similar, in-house, reward- based program, if for no other reason than to protect themselves from the "4 positives for a federation" rule. The trickle-down effect of total pre-testing for high-re- ward, international competitions will be total pre-testing for high-reward, domestic competitions.
It would also follow that the major, international invitationals would restrict invitations to FINA or Federa- tion "licencees." We will have, in effect, created profes- sional swimming by diverting testing money into prize money at all levels.
The system will be believed because there is FULL DISCI.OS! RE Even test will be published -name, na- tion, and all findings. Everybody will know everything. As John Leonard said, "This will end the 'shell game.' "
The excitement of the el i.iches at the WSCA Clinicwas tempered by reality. This is only a concept, a framework. There are years of details to be worked out, but there was hope. At least there is a Strategy that could work.
Theonly other choices were legalization, orsurrender.

COLWIN ON COACHING
PABLO MORALES— LORD OF THE FLOW
Cecil m. Cohtfn
From liny splash to big splash — that's the story of Pablo Mor.iles,\vho\v;Lsdesiinedtobecomeoneofthe most consummate manipulators of me (low In the history of butterfly swimming. Yes, the career of this tututvOhuipic champion started with a small splash —in fad, with aseriesof small splashes. The tall thin kid Willi the Latin g<xxl looks delighted in splashing the others in hisbeginnerclass. Pablo wanted them to share in the fun of being in cool water on a hot afternoon.
I was a terror during diose swim lessons," says Pablo. "I didn't really listen. I d splash the other kids. I failed my first three beginning lessons because I couldn't do what was dien called the elementary backstroke.' which was an odd sort of a drill, but one you had to master in order to pass. Finally, on my fourth attempt, I succeeded."
"I look back on those days with amusement, but it does show that, when you're starting out, just because you don't have a great feel for it, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't achieve a certain level in the sport."
Tadpole'' Days
Pablo Morales was born in Chicago, but when he was eighteen monthsold, his family moved to California, the lotus land of swimming. Aschildren. both parents had nearly drowned on the beaches of Cuba, so they made sure that Pablo and his sister learned water safety by enrolling them in a summer club program.
Once both children had become safe i n the water, Pablo's parents thought that it "would be healthy, and a good idea" for them to join a year-round swim team, so they joined the nearby Santa Clara Swim Team.
Pablo, then eight years old, was placed in the tadpole group, and, even there, in the lowest tier of the great Santa Clara hierarchy, the kids were pretty advanced And, at a time when Pablo wasn't feeling all that secure about himself, it was John Spencer, his first coach at Santa Clara who made swimming a lot of fun, with the result that Pablo soon began to feel at home among his peers. Spencer wisely allowed Pablo to develop slowly, and to improve at his own rate. This was important to him at a time when hedidn'tbelieve that he had any more natural ability than the next person in the group. Young Pablo learned early on
that he had to work hard for every ounce of success that came his way.
Pablo's next coach at Santa Clara was the age- group coach, Bill Thompson. "He really taught me how to improve my workout habiLs,and he was just a really great age group coach for me. Bill Thompson continued along the same lines as John Spencer, making it a lot of fun, but Bill had more of a coach's whip-edge to him. Even though he had greatsense of humour, and made everything fun, he nevertheless taught us how to really apply ourselves in given sets."
By the age of nine, Pablo had learned to swim all four strokes. As a nine year old, he still hadn't become particularly adept at any one stroke. But, at the age of ten, his butterfly started to show real promise. Says Pablo, "I worked a lot on it. It didn't come to me right away but when I started doing it well, I began to like it. I swam my first 'double A' time in the 50 fly. As a result, 1 developed an affinity as well as an affection for butterfly."
Inspired by Mark Spitz
Pablo's first memories of competive swimming were of Mark Spitz's successes at the Munich Games. Mark Spitz inspired many swimmers of that era, and none more than the young Pablo Morales. "I remember Mark Spitz swimming in Munich before I had really gotten into swimming. Every day, I followed his progress, and the media seemed to highlight his butterfly races because, although he was the world's champion freestyler, his butterfly was considered his real forte. His butterfly made a big impression on me."
"Later I met Mark Spitz at the 1984 Olympic Trials, and I spoke to him briefly. I had naturally drifted towards butterfly because of his influence, and because, after a couple of years, my butterfly was improving fairly rapidly."
When Pablo moved up to the senior team at Santa Clara, he came under the tutelage of Mitch Ivey, who by then had become head coach after the departure of George Haines, the man responsible for building the great Santa Clara dynasty.
Mitch Ivey coached Pablo for four years until he was 16, when Ivey left to coach at Pleasant Hill Swim Team. But, at the age of 18, during the summer following Pablo's graduation from high school, Pablo rejoined Mitch Ivey at Concord to prepare for the 1983 nationals at Clovis.
Pablo freely acknowledges Mitch Ivey's contri- bution to his development as an athlete. "He gave me the skills, not only the physical skills to do well, but also the confidence that I could compete at an elite level."
First World Record
Pablo's first world record came in 1984 when he swam the 100 butterfly in 53-38 seconds in Indianapolis.
"I had missed setting the world record the year before by about six hours," quipped Pablo. "This was at the 1983 long course nationals at Clovis, Califor- nia. Matt Gribble set a world record of 53 34 in the morning, and at night, we were both under the old world record by a couple of tenths of a second, with Matt winning the race by two one-hundredths of a second. So I guess you could say that I missed the record by six hours!"
"That year the nationals at Clovis represented a breakthrough for me. I had made nationals before, and had qualified for the finals. But that was the meet where I started butting heads with individuals who really were my heros; people like Craig Beardsley, Matt Gribble, Bill Barrett, and Ricardo Prado in the I.M."
"I was stepping up, and starting to compete at close to the same level. This was a big breakthrough for me at that time, and a great motivation to try even harder."
"Seven-League-Boots"
I told Pablo that I remembered the first time I saw him swim. It was in the early 1980s at Indianapolis, and he was practising his kick in a side lane. I was walking along the side of the pool, and was amazed at the power of his kick, and how far his body shot forward with each kick. I remember mentioning to someone that "this fellow swims like the legendary giant with seven-league-boots."
But Pablo insists that his strong kick did not come naturally to him. "I don't think I really had a great kick. Early on, I just had this single beat kick, and this sort of hitch in my stroke, this little squinny hitch, tryingtodo a two-beat kick. You know that little hitch stroke that kids do, when they're trying to leam a double-beat kick; they kick out in front, and then they pull through, and they kick again, but the hands won'tcomeoutof the water (laughs)... you know that
10
SWIMNEWS/ JULY 1997
kind of thing... well, I was doing a lot of that."
Pablo said that the development of his kick, getting distance per kick on the downbeat and the upbeat, was the result of a comment made to him by George Eadington, who coached him as a 1 3 year old, when he made the senior development team at Santa Clara, and first started doing twice daily workouts.
"But first let me tell you that, of all my years in swimming, this was a very tough year. The transition from 11-12, into the 13-14 group was tough. I had grown taller, but not really filled out, and so improve- ment was very difficult, and really didn't come that quickly as a 13 year old, plus it was a tough transi- tional year in terms of double workouts. George was a great coach, but he really was a taskmaster. As I say, it was a difficult season to get through."
"But, back to the point; just casually, during one workout, when we were doing a kick set, George men- tioned how one swim- mer he used to coach had such an amazing kickbecause.notonly did he have a remark- able down-beat, but he got so much out of his up-beat as well. I'm sure he intended this comment as a correction for me to follow out, but I just said, 'Hey! I can do that too!' "
Dolphin Kick on the Back
Pablo worked hard to achieve a full and bal- anced kick. He also started doing dolphin kick while lyingon his back. "I don't know if it was Mitch's idea or
if it was George's idea, but I started kicking on my back, and, after a while, I did all my kicking on my back. And, don't forget, this was the guy who couldn't pass his 'elementary backstroke' as a beginner!
"For many years, all I knew was that when it was time to kick, I never grabbed a kick board. I just got into my streamlined position on my back, and just cranked out upside-down kicking sets."
Pablo explained that, when he kicked on the board, he did a strong downbeat, but tended to relax on the up-beat. However, when kicking on his back, he didn't forget about the up-beat, which was now
actually the downbeat when he was on his back. In fact, he emphasized it more when on his back. "I believe it gave me better balance between my down- ward beat and my upward kick. Not only that, it was a great workout for the abdominal muscles, and it also helped my streamlining."
Pablo said that a butterfly swimmer definitely gets more thrust out of the down-beat, but kicking on the back helps to get the feet up. "Not only was I getting some propulsion from my up-beat, but it really helped me to get my feet up quickly, and ready for a powerful down-beat, which is the most propul- sive part of the kick."
To Undulate or Not?
I asked Pablo whether lie agreed that today's fly
"I think that too much undulation, especially for sprint fly, can put you at a disadvantage against somebody whose front end of the body is more in alignment, without too much up and down motion."
Asked what he thought were the key points of butterfly, Pablo said, "Looking back over the years, I always thought that a high hip position kept my body in alignment. I guess there's a debate about kicking, and whether one should overkick or not overkick, whether kicking too hard is a bad thing.
"One thing that most people will agree on is having a high hip position. In workouts, I practised getting a high hip position by emphasizing the entry point of my hands. As my hands ride forward for a while, before the catch phrase, my hips were forced up. "
swimmers tended to use less body undulation, and concentrated on starting the dolphin motion from the hips down. Pablo said that Pankratov stays very low in the water on his breathing cycle. When he is swimming on top of the water, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between his breathing and non-breathing cycles. There is very little extraneous undulation from the waist up.
Told that the Australian, Scott Miller, also seems to use less body undulation, Pablosaid that he hadn't had the opportunity to study Miller, but that he thought too much hip undulation could induce drag.
Nick Thierry
Asked if pushing the hips up, as the hands enter, causes the first downward kick to just happen, Pablo said, Veah.earh on, 1 always thought about forcing the hips up,but,asanolderswimmer, asa27yearold, coming back into the sport, and always learning something new, and getting to know Bill Boomer a little bit, I understood from him that a good high hip position is also attained by 'pressing the T.' By the 'T,' I mean the lateral spread of the arms at the entry, ami the line that crosses from chin to belly button, and from shoulder to shoulder. That makes a lot of sense, if you're pressing the "I" out in front, it's only natural

how. as her arms enter, her hands actually seem to be higher than her elbows, and she looks almost like a giant condor about to launch itself from a cliff to soar out over the ocean. Pablo agreed, and said: "I'll tell you who had the most natural high hip position, without having a lot of leg drive, was Summer Sand- ers. Herbalance forward was amazing; the fulcrum at her hips brought her naturally so high out of the water."
.Asked if he allowed his chest to submerge lower than his elbows at the entry Pablo said, "I can only answer your question by making the motion now, as I talk to you. visualizing what I do in the water. I can only guess without having looked at it on video, nor having specifically concentrated on it, and 1 feel like it does; I feel my chest does go lower than my hands, maybe slightly, but, mind you. not so much that the elbows drop. I had a tendency to over-reach, as a 16 or F year old. because I always thought that length equalled efficiency."
"I did that to such an extreme that I was overextending my arms and slipping at the front end of my stroke, and. at that point, I was getting some elbow drop."
I asked Pablo if he was entering his arms then waiting out front too long. "Yes, and I would be slipping water and over-reaching so much that my elbows would drop slightly. I wasn't getting anything out of the catch that I could grab."
Pablo said that he swam everything in training, "a lot of freestyle, a lot of I.M. work, even though, as a 1 3 to 1 5 year old. I didn't compete in the 800 and the mile, but I trained different sets using these as mul-
Asked what he thought was the difference in arm posture between the crawl arm entry and the butterfly arm entry, Pablo replied that he thought the arm is straighter in the butterfly entry.
"When I recover my arms, and when they enter the wa- ter, I tell myself not to extend my arms too much, but to enter as my thumbs slide into the water. Having watched myself swimming on video, it looks as if my arms are ex- tended as far as they can go without really over-reaching. I feel as if my elbows are still up, but not quite as high as when my hands enter the wa- ter. In the butterfly entry, my arms probably extend more than they do in the freestyle entry."

Q'S AND A S ON TECHNIQUE
Q: Do you allow your shoulder girdle to move for- ward, almost as if you are hunching your shoul- ders as your arms reach into the stroke?
A: I've never thought about it, but I think, yes, that does happen.
Q: Tell me about your stroke timing. Many young swimmers seem to have trouble mastering the two-beat timing in the butterfly.
A: I really don't know what to say about that, or how. I think that in getting the correct timing, with two kicks for each arm stroke, as a youngster growing up, I did a lot of one arm drills to get the rythym going a little bit.
Q: What about timing your breathing?
A: As you start your ami press, at the start of the stroke, right when you're pressing, the head starts lifting forward slightly, and, I guess, later on, I felt that made sense because by timing your breathing with the press of your hand, instead of late in the pull, you can maintain ahigher body position. By waiting too long to start raising the head, you can easily lose your high body position.
Q: When do you actually inhale?
A; (Laughs) As soon as my head comes out of the water! You know, I've never really thought about it!
Q: Do you inhale before your hands start their recov- ery?
A; Well, let me see, You're asking tough questions, Cec, because I've never really thought about it! Q You're lucky; because you're a natural, you don't
have to think about it! What do you think about
it, anyway?
A: I think you're right. I think I breathe before my hands exit.
Q: Pankratov has swum a 1:55.22 in the 200 fly, maybe even faster, and he is also the world record holder in the 100, and so was Gross the holder of the world record in both events. Would you say that these people are exceptions to the rule that most fly swimmers excel either at the 100 or the 200?
A: I really think that it depends on the individual. Melvin Stewart swam an excellent 100 fly, though I think that, genetically, he is more suited for the 200. The same could be said for Gross, even though he set the world record in the 100 metres at one point. Pankratov does both equally well, even though he seems to have focussed more on improving his 100 in the last two years. Gross did a 53.08 in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. I remember that very well! When I set a world record in the 100 at the 1984 trials, I went 1:58 in the 200, and 1:57 at the Games. But Sieben came up with a 1:57.04. There were three 1:57s in that race, and I was fourth. I was very much concen- trating on the 200 fly as well. I don't think the two distances are too contradictory.
Q: Are you a "race swimmer," in that you produced your best times when racing?
A: I was a very hard worker, but I think I was a better racer.

fly entry, Pablo said that he felt the water first on his hand, and then on his forearm, as he started to reach forward into the catch. "So, as my amis enter, I feel the water fi rst on my thumbs, then on my forefingers, then wrists, and forearms."
"Pablo Is A Gentleman Athlete," says George Haines
When I asked George Haines if he remembered Pablo when he was a young swimmer at Santa Clara, George responded in typical fashion: "Did I know Pablo? I've known him since he was knee-high to a grasshopper!"
"When Pablo was going to pre-school, my son, Kyle, who is the same age as Pablo, was there with him. It was right off the campus at Santa Clara High School. I could look through the fence of the athletic field at these kids at the nursery school. They couldn't see me. I could watch Pablo and my son playing on the swings together."
"Well when he was older, he swam for John Spencer at Santa Clara, and then he swam in Bill Thompson's group. I was still there, and then, in 1974, 1 went down to UCLA, and I think, a year later or so, he went up to Mitch's (Mitch Ivey) group, and Bill Thompson had him for a couple of years before I left. He was some talent. They used to call me over
and say: 'Look at this guy.' And I'd say 'Hey son, what's your name?' and he'd say: 'Pablo.' And I'd say: 'Pablo, you keep at it!' "
"And then I left to go to UCLA. This boy became a gentleman athlete, and I put him in the same class with Steve Clark and Don Schollander. Pablo Morales never forgot his early coaches. He remembers guys likejohn Spencer, and he remembers Bill Thompson. He knows who the coaches were who gave him his background. When I went to Stanford, my first year at Stanford, Pablo was a freshman on the men's team. I was coaching the women's team, but Pablo came over to me and started talking all about the Santa Clara Swim Club, and what he did there, and who coached him. He never forgot. He said I owe a lot to all those people, and to the Santa Clara Swim Club. That guy's unbelievable!"
Goal-Setting on the Path to Success
Today, Pablo modestly insists that everything he achieved in competitive swimming involved "only a little bit of ability," but that the main ingredient to success lies in perseverance and realistic goal-setting.
Pablo emphasizes that improvement didn't al- ways come right away. For example, improving his butterfly action only came very gradually.
Pablo set his goals at the beginning of each season. He stresses that he didn't just set goals and forget about them. Each workout demanded a spe- cific mind-set.
Over time, Pablo learned how daily workout perfonnance related to the accomplishment of his goals.
"I had to always focus on my goals, on a daily basis, and not only from day to day, and from week to week, but also from each trainingset to the next, and from repeat to repeat."
Pablo says that he thought constantly about his goals, and what he needed to do to achieve them. In time he developed a workout focus that helped him improve, and produce the kind of effort that yielded positive results. More than anything, it was this ap- proach that eventually con- tributed to Pablo Morales'

"MY THREE GREATEST RACES AND WHY"
1. 100 m Butterfly Final, Barcelona 1992
Winning an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games is a goal that I had since the age of seven, having watched the 1972 Munich Games and the performances of athletes like Mark Spitz and Dave Wottle (800 Metres, track and field). Being able to come back in 1992 and win when most did not give me much of a chance to win — because of my age, the fact that I was out of the sport for three years, and following the disappointment of 1988 — was tremendously fulfilling.
2. 200 yard Butterfly Final, 1987 NCAAs
My final race at NCAAs gave me my eleventh indi- vidual title, eclipsing the previous record of 10 held by John Naber, a hero of mine from the 1976 Olympics. There had been a great deal of talk about the record and pressure to win the 1 1th title. In the race I went up against Anthony Mosse, the great 200 Butterflier from New Zealand, who was my teammate from Stanford, and who had gone 1:57 low to win the Commonwealth Games the summer before and who had been swimming great all of the collegiate season, whereas I had been struggling in this event. I felt I needed to execute the perfect race to win. Despite the pressure. I felt I focussed and executed about as perfect a race as 1 was capable.
3. 100 ni Butterfly, World Championship Trials, 1986, World Record, 52.84
Because the morning preliminary swim of S3 low felt so effortless, I was going for the world record in the final. In truth, at the time, it was as important to me that the swim was under 53 and a life best time ;is the fact that it was a world record. However, as the record held up over time, eventually extend- ing to nine years before Pankratov's swim, 1 appre- ciated more and more the fact that it was a world record and that it survived those years

GERMAN NATIONALS
GENERAL LAG IN PERFORMANCES
SEVEN YEARS AFTER REUNIFICATION, GERMANY IS STILL AT A LOSS FOR HOW TO DEAL WITH ITS OMINOUS PAST
Karin Helmstaedl
Ml MCH — Gennany's well-worn vetenuis walked onto llie deck of the Munich Olympic pool with seemingly little to worn about. The German National Championships (July 3-6). one in a long series of events celebrating the 2Mb anniversary of the 1972 Olympic Park, were characterized by a climate of latent uneasiness, passed off as frustration over the alarming lack of new talent.
W illi court proceedings against fonnerGDR swim roaches, sport doctors, and administrators suspected of involvement in doping opening sometime in late summer or early fall, the atmosphere on deck was tense, wary, and sometimes downright hostile. And things didn't get any better as former East German swimmers walked away with 21 out of 32 national titles, making up the greater portion of the team
World leader Jens Kruppa, 1 :01 .90 for 1 00 breaststroke
bound for the European Championships in Sevilla.
Mostof those potentially involved in theupcoming Berlin indictments refused to comment at all, and the lai rs of Dieter Lindemann, Volker Frischke, and Lutz \\ anja, all prominent former East German coaches, were grim testaments to their collectivevowof silence. One coach did make the resigned observation, "It's going to be ugly. And when it's all over, we can start over."
Riidiger Tretow, President of the German Swim- ming Federation (DSV), admitted that the DSV is in a difficult position "in the absence of concrete proof" against former GDR coaches. In 1991, in order to travel to the world championships in Perth, coaches like Lindemann and Frischke gave written affidavits under oath that they had nothing to do with doping.
"Those affidavits still stand," Tretow said, add- ing that once the coaches in question are accused in court, the DSV will take immediate action: coaches who are charged and fined will be suspended, and those who are sen- tenced will lose their jobs. "We can't act on mere suppositions," he said, "even though we know they didn't write the truth."
An interesting point concerns coaches who were informers for the former Secret Po- lice; the DSV needs the consent of the coaches themselves to confirm each case, but of course no one has consented to the DSV accessing this information and the necessary files re- main mysterious. The coaches' contracts with the DSV state that they should have no con- nection whatsoever to either doping or the Se-
cret Police, and this information will surely be re- vealed in court. "This is a problem for us," Tretow said, squirming with discomfort, "and I'm not sure how we will react. It would certainly be very unlucky if something happened before Sevilla."
The first day of competition did have some sur- prises however, as three favoured veterans were top- pled from their pedestals. With Franziska van Almsick injured and out of commission, sprint "Konigin" Sandra Volker of Hamburg had the stage to herself. The day before the competition she appeared in the Hamburg edition of Die Bildzeitung as a nearly topless mermaid, and her face smiled back from countless posters around the pool promoting a new freestyle video done with British sprinter Mark Foster.
Ranked number one in the world in the 50 and 100 freestyles, it was a definite shock when she was upstaged by 18-year-old AntjeBuschschulte, a former West German training in Magdeburg with Bernd Henneberg. "The win came as a total surprise," Buschschulte said, "because my training was more focussed on the 200 freestyle. The time (55.35) is unbelievable ... and I think my chances are good over the other distances."
A disappointed Volker said, "I simply swam badly and had absolutely no feel for my speed. I'm not tired at all and I even noticed in the final metres that I had something left."
Mark Warnecke, the favourite for the 1 00 breast- stroke, was knocked off by Jens Kruppa of Leipzig, who posted the fastest time in the world this year (1:01.91).
No men made the 50.30 second cut-off for Sevilla in the 100 freestyle, and mighty Munich native Chris- tian Troger was sidelined (to fourth) by Torsten Spanneberg, who touched first in 50.72. Head men's coach Manfred Thiesmann was at a loss to explain individual performances, but suggested that the lack of a star on the team to act as a positive example of success was hindering the team's development.
As Michael Jackson warmed up in the stadium next door on Day 2, the 23-year-old Volker took her revenge in a showdown with Buschschulte in the 100 backstroke. "The race was a nerve game today and was much more difficult than yesterday. I went out faster and had the race from the outset." said the satisfied Volker, who held off her rival by 3/10 seconds (1:02.2 to 1:02.56). Despite a slow start, Volker's second victory in the 50 freestyle was clocked in 25.32.
SWIMNEWS/JULY 1997
Kerstin Kielgass won 200 and 400 free
Van Almsick, who was in Munich as a spectator, was miffed at having to watch the 200 freestyle from the sideline (again!), but while the winner of the event was eight years her senior, she was certainly no slouch: ex-Wundermadchen and defending Euro- pean champion Kerstin Kielgass, 27, posted 1:59-78. Only Costa Rica's Claudia Poll has been faster this year. Kielgass also won the 400 freestyle ahead of Dagmar Hase, whose "comeback" at 27 was con- firmed with her qualification for Sevilla.
Other double winners were Ralf Braun (100 and 200 back), Buschschulte ( 100 free, 200 back), Kruppa (100 and 200 breast), and Christian Keller (100 fly, 200 IM). Despite a knee injury, 27-year-old Jorg Hoffmann was unchallenged in the 400 and 1 S00 freestyles. No changing of the guard in sight.
In a press conference, Van Almsick sported her trademark Calvin Klein baseball cap —supposedly to make her less conspicuous — and a custom-made wrist brace that has allowed her to start arm training again. She expressed her "shock" at the state of the German swim scene, saying, "The same ones are winningwith no pressure from below.. .there are huge holes and no one seems to be coming up from the younger ranks."
A look at the results con- finns her observation: new- comer Anne Poleska, 17, won the 200 breaststroke in 2:32.17, hardly scintillating compared with Silke Horner's juiced up national record of 2:26.71. Ina Hiiging was a surprise win in the 100 breaststroke, but her time of 1:10.98 did not even make the qualifying time for Sevilla. She was an automatic selection for the medley relay however, along with her runner-up, Sylvia Gerasch (1:11.12), another name that's been kicking around for over a decade.
Journalists grilled na- tional head coaches Thiesmann (men) and Achim Jedamsky (women), and Team Chef Winfried Leopold on the general lag in performances. In four days, not a single national record was set. Many of the winning times were hope- lessly far from the now uni- fied German records. When Marco chiesa asked before the meet about her record-setting potential, Volker replied, "It's hard to talk about records because there are so many records still held by former GDR swimmers." It was a refreshingly frank comment in the midst of so much deliberate looking away.
Leopold, himself visibly burdened with a long past in the GDR, spoke unconvincingly of the "flux" in German swimming today, saying that it is difficult for the athletes to train effectively, in a completely concentrated and ordered setting. Alas, seven years after reunification, Germany is still at a loss for how to deal with its ominous past. Gone are the days of the sub-8 minute 4x200 freestyle relay. The most effective system ever conceived, which allowed the GDR to systemtically "fix" swimming success, was exposed long ago for what it really was. But by not facing mistakes immediately and lettingso many lies linger, the whole German team is on increasingly shifts ground, unable to fit comfortably into the unified persona.
When, on the last day, a journalist in Munich smirked, "No dope, no hope," it was a telling reflec- tion of a collective loss of respect and confidence that has affected an entire nation's identitv.

THE GERMAN SCANDAL
SYSTEMATIC DOPING OF UNDERAGE ATHLETES IN THE FORMER GDR
COACHES, SPORT DOCTORS, AND RDREAUCRATS TO RE CHARGED
Kjurin Helmstacdl
BKKI J N — After i >\ it tour years of research and inves- ligatioas. the festering issue of the systematic doping of underage athletes in the former German Demo- cratic Republic will finally be dealt with.
In late summer or early fall, 15 people will be prosecuted in Berlin for their involvement in the State-organized dopingsystem. No names have been released, but based largely on findings In former Secret Police (Stasi) files, those on the hit list include formercoaches. sport doctors, and bureaucrats, many of w hom worked In connection w ith the SC Dynamo and TSC Berlin swim clubs.
But time is running short if authorities from the Zentralen Ermittlungstelle Regierungs-und Vereinigungskriminalitat (ZERV — central investi- gationsofficeforgovemment and unification crimes) expect to act effectively on the issue: a statute of limitations exists for the beginning of legal proceed- ings for doping infractions resulting in bodily harm. A recent announcement that investigations will now extend further than Berlin to include all "new" states of the unified Germany (i.e. former GDR States) is a reassuring sign that investigators have a strong case, but if the ball is not rolling by December 31 of this year, those under scrutiny can break out the cham- pagne.
Among others, swimming coaches Dieter Lindemann, the former coach of German freestyle star Franziska van Almsick, and Volker Frischke, coach of former Wundermadchen Daniela Hunger (a double gold medallist at the 1988 Olympics) and Kerstin Kielgass. are expected to have to take the stand. Both men are currently — and controver- sially— employed as coaches at the High Perform- ance Support Centre of the unified Germany in Ber- lin.
Court proceedi ngs are expected to I ast at least 4 to 6 wieeks based on the assumption that many of those accused will plead not guilty.
With the first series of hearings in Berlin, ZERV investigators hope to climb the GDR sport hierarchy so that those responsible for the doping of children and youth all over the country are also brought to justice. .According to the chief prosecutor, Christoph Schaefgen, if the right momentum is achieved in Berlin, proceedings will eventually get underway
againsl MarifredEwaldandKlausEichler.bothformer presidents of the GDR Spoils Federation. Schaefgen maintains thai the ZERV can prove the existence of a
Young athletes in the GDR were deliberately doped according to a centralized plan and without their knowledge; drugs were administered under the guise of "vitamin preparations."
State-controlled doping plan in all sports, from sail- ing to swimming to rhythmic gymnastics.
Berlin District Attorney Riidiger Hillebrand has said that as many as 512 people are being actively investigated, and 12 people have filed claims for personal damages. But last April he declared that a total solution to the GDR doping legacy and its aftermath was "altogether impossible." It would re- quire the investigation of thousands of former GDR athletes, and hundreds of doctors and functionaries. Taking only the paperwork into account, his staff could simply not handle such numbers.
Thesalient assumption of the Berlin prosecution is that young athletes in the GDR were deliberately doped according to a centralized plan and without their knowledge; drugs were administered under the guise of "vitamin preparations." Those responsible are potentially guilty of bodily harm according to Article 223 of the Civil Code.
The ZERV's case is built on a combination of materials secured from searches — conducted in May 1996 — of the houses of former coaches, doctors, bureaucrats and scientists, as well as over 30,000 files from the GDR Sports Medicine Service. Pertinent written documents were also seized from the famous Kreischa laboratory.
In March, investigators sent over 500 question- naires to former GDR high performance athletes. Among the questions asked were "During your ath- letic career, were you ever given substances, the effects
of which were unknown to you?", "Have you experi- enced any health problems or a decline in your bodily well-being?" and "Should this be the case, do you wish to press charges?"
The Berlin proceedings should indicate whether the alleged dopers, once the foundation of the GDR sport system, can actually be found guilty in a court of law.
It is a tall order as several tricky details could prevent this: the prosecution must prove, without a doubt, that those accused were acting according to a plan and in clear knowledge of that plan. They must show that coaches knew that many of the substances they administered to their athletes were harmful to the athletes' health. In such a totalitarian environ- ment, it is possible that many in responsible positions were not informed of doping practices; some truly seemed to believe that the substances injested by or injected into athletes were harmless vitamin prepara- tions.
But the greatest irony lies in the following: that "doping" as a practice was strictly forbidden in the fonner GDR. The court must then also assure, in every case, that the accused were aware of the fact that their actions were against the law.
The possible scenarios are anywhere from fright- ening to absurd. What kind of travel or material privileges did a coach risk by not following the pre- scribed program? What kind of pressures were used to ensure the success of GDR athletes? Will medical doctors, already devoid of credibility, try to justify their actions by claiming their belief that the chemi- cal manipulation of performances was good for the State?
Only time will tell, and due to the draggingout of investigations by the State, time is a problem. The prosecution will concentrate on the period dating from 1975-1989, and that time falls further and further into the past. For the sake of the victims of an abominable system, let's hope the elapsed time factor has no adverse effect on materials brought toward by the prosecution or on witness's statements. We al- ready know that the memory of those indicted will be selective.

MARE NOSTRUM
CLAUDIA POLL TAKING OVER FREESTYLE SUPREMACY
Karin Helmstaedt
The 1997 Mare Nostrum tour, while less spectacular than previous years, carried on with quality lineups under the sun of Barcelona and the menacing rainclouds — now par for the course — of Canet-en- Roussillon.
The tour, which kicked off in Monte Carlo May 24-25, typically draws an impressive crowd of com- petitors from Europe. While numbers were down this year (especially the French!), the ever more lucrative prize money attracted a healthy crop of Australians, Americans, Chinese and, this year, Canadians, all eager for racing and valuable international experi- ence, not to mention cash.
Finland'sjani Sievinen made the Barcelonameet his first longcourse appearance since the bitter disap- pointment of losing gold at the Atlanta Olympics, and while he lost the 400 IM to flying Dutchman Marcel Wouda (4:23.66 behind Wouda's 4:22.21), he man- aged to impose in his specialty, the 200 IM, with a 2:02.00. Sievinen declared himself satisfied with his performances, but did not compete in Canet. Wouda was runner-up the 200 in Barcelona (2:02.81), and won both IMs in Canet (2:02.6; 4:22.39).
Denis Pankratov, claiming he was tired after Russian Nationals, was unusually stingy with his efforts this year. After showing up only for the warm- ups in Monte Carlo, he mustered a 100 butterfly victory in Barcelona, but his 53-61 was hardly exploit material with Denis Silantiev and Michael Klim hot on his heels. His coach, Viktor Avdienko, announced that his protege would be "very fast" in Canet, and when he stood behind the blocks for the 200 butterfly, meet organizers held their breath, reminiscent of the world record (1:55.22) he set two years ago. But despite vigourous work on his underwater technique and seemingly endless directives from Avdienko, it was not to be: Pankratovwas underworld record pace for 1 00 metres before he began to fade. His final time of 1:57.34 nevertheless earned him the top perform- ance of the meet, together with Claudia Poll (200 free) . The two split the combined prize money, taking home 22,500FF (about $5,000 Canadian) each.
Whatever the weather, Poll always shines in Canet. The Costa Rican wundermadchen clocked 1:58.18 in the 200 freestyle and 4:10.56 in the 400, before wrapping up the meet with a victory in the 1 00 (56.40). With a mere four weeks of long course training after her world record exploits in Sweden in April, Poll seems to have had no problem with the transition. Freestyle records will be in jeopardy this
summer, and Germany's Franziska van Almsick, out of commission with a hand injury, will be powerless to oppose Poll's carefully planned takeover.
The maple leaves were out in force in the wom- en's medleys. Olympic silver medallist Marianne Limpert and teammate Karine Chevrier went one-two respectively (2:17.87; 2:18.71) in the 200 IM in Bar- celona, with Ariane Legendre finishing not far behind in 5th (2:20.31). Chevrier added asilver in the 400 IM (4:52.92). Limpert had the best of intentions for the 200 IM in Canet, hoping to approach a 2: 1 5 low, but fatigue and the cold weather made it tough. She managed a 2: 17.06 for the win, with Chevrier behind her in 2:19.53- Legendre was 4th in 2:21.52.
Deburghraeve: Gold is weighing him down
Olympic gold medals are not all they' re cracked up to be forsome. Belgian breaststroker Fred Deburghraeve is down in the dumps and, according to his coach, Ronald Gaastra, "fed up with the limelight."
The swimmer has been doing lots of small com- petitions and public appearances, but is unable to keep up with the requests for his presence. He is so inundated with phone calls that Gaastra has advised him to drop out of sight for a while.
"I'm going to put him in a closet for a while, change his phone number, and he'll be unreachable for everyone but me. He needs to get his private life back," said Gaastra.
Deburghraeve swam a 1 :03 93 to come fourth in the 100 breaststroke in Barcelona and was so disap- pointed with it that he didn't swim in Canet. Gaastra is confident that his protege will come around, citing motivation and lack of objectives as the main prob- lem.
"Physically he's OK. He's still training, but he's still got todo it all by himself. He's still so talented but just fed up with everything around swimming."
The two will decide in July if Deburghraeve is ready to compete in Sevilla.
Cash is in good taste
One could not help but notice the pleasing, and decidedh unusual, displays ol jo\ b\ Chinese swim mers on the podium in Canet-en-Roussillon. Appar- ently the idea of winning hard cash — every gold medal in Canet is worth 2000FF (about $450 Cana- dian)— had swimmers like Huijue Cai, Yan Chen, and Ying Shan beside themselves with excitement. Not surprising, as the amount represents more than twice the average monthly salary in China. A pleasant bonus, that is hopefully theirs to keep.

"I KNEW THAT HERE WAS A SPECIAL SWIMMER,
COACH DAVID SALO ON AMANDA DEARD ONLY THE FOORTH 1 3 YEAR OLD EVER TO CAPTURE A U.S. TITLE
II
Russ I \N.iUI
It's appropriate that Amanda Beanl lives in the same county in Southern California where Disneyland is located, given her storybook rise from being an un- rankeil age group swimmer to an Olympic silver medallist in both bieaststrokes in a little over two years.
Swimming was just another activity for Beard until lW-f Then 12. she also played soccer and raised a dog. caLs. rabbits, and birds. And she didn't like breasLstroke. Butterfly was her event.
But Brian Pajer. the head age group coach of the Irvine Not aquatics, insisted his pupils learn breast- stroke because that's what he knew best. Pajer placed seventh in the 100 breast at the 1992 U.S. Olympic trials prior to taking the Irvine job.
"He hated my breaststroke because it was so horrible.'' Beard recalls. "He persuaded me to work on it more. I stayed after practice and got lessons."
Pajer, who trained with gold medalist Mike Barrow man under I lungarianJos/el'Nagy, taught his swimmers a breaststroke style very similar to the rolling or wave" technique of Nagy. In this tech- nique, there is very little time wasted between the propulsion of the legs and the arm pull.
"It's much more fluid and efficient than the conventional stroke because there's no pause in it," says Pajer. "That pays off, especially in the 200 breasLstroke."
Beard's extraordinary improvement came once she learned to utilize her powerful legs effectively.
"The kick is the most important part of the stroke," Pajer says. "You can teach the pull and you can teach the timing. But a natural kick is really hard. You have to have the correct angle and flexibility and a good feel for the water to do the right kick. That's more of a natural talent than something that's taught.
"She needed to be taught how to use her natural feel for the water. When she learned which direction
to kick and how to do it, then her feel took over. Once I saw what her kick could do — which took about two months to develop — I knew she would be good, although I wouldn't have said she'd be in the Olym- pics in two years."
The Irvine youngster took just three months to improve 20 seconds down to a 1:10 in the 100 yard breasLstroke. When the long course season began, she dropped from 1:40 in the 100 metrer breaststroke to 1 : 1 5.47. She then decided to give up soccer and focus on swimming.
"That was hard for me to do, " says Beard. " I liked soccer a lot. But everybody wanted me to stop soccer to concentrate on swimming. So I did."
The move paid off. Beard got better and better so fast that she made the senior national standards shortly after making j unior cuts and never swam at a junior nationals. She joined Irvine's senior group under coach Dave Salo in January of 1995 and com- peted in her first U.S. nationals two months later,

finishing fifth in the 100 breast (1:12.45) and third in the 200 (2:33-05). For the 200 final, Salo told his swimmer to pick up her turnover pace with 70 meters to go and not worry about what place she was in. She obeyed.
"That's when I knew that here was a special swimmer," says Salo. "A lot of kids ignore your direction, or they just don't get it. She went from eighth to third. If I had picked a spot a little sooner, she probably would have caught the entire field."
Beard became the fourth 13 year old ever to capture a U.S. title when she won the 100 breast (1:10.37) at the 1995 summer nationals. She was runner-up in the 200 (2:29.46). She placed third in both breaststrokes two weeks later at the Pan Pacific meet.
At the pressure-packed U.S. Olympic trials the following March, Beard was the youngest swimmer at 1 4 to win an event, sweeping the breaststrokes (1:08.36, 2:26.25).
"Amanda has an exhilaration when she com- petes that, like other top swimmers, sets her apart from the others," says Salo. "She's not afraid to compete. You can get her up on the block anytime and anywhere agai nst anybody, and she doesn't dread it."
Beard showed that fearlessness at the Olympics, setting an American record (1:08.09) in the 100 breast and producing the second-fastest U.S. time ever in the 200 breast (2:25.75) in taking second to South Africa's Penny Heyns in both races. The young American made up almost two seconds on Heyns on the final lap of the 200, falling short of victory by 34- hundredths.
"I was very happy," says Beard. "They were both good times for me. I raced hard. I did the best I could do. I came back strong like I like to do."
To remain eligible for high school and college competition, Beard turned down a total of $65,000 in prize money offered by U.S. Swimming and the U.S. Olympic Committee for her two silver medals and a gold on the medley relay. The strict rules for school competition in the USA also prevented her from the opportunity to make money from endorsements, prob- ably a sizeable sum with her slender look and bub- bling personality.
"I want to save that for later in life," she says. "I had swum one year of high school before the Olym- pics. It was fun. I didn't want to give that up."
Beard didn't find it hard to resume training following the Olympics, either.
"I have a lot of friends on the team," she says. "It's easy to go to practice because you get to see them."
The difficulty for the growing teenager, who has shot up several inches in the last year to 5 feet 8 and 1 20 pounds, will be sustaining her success in an event that has seen young stars come and go quickly. Salo thinks his controversial training program may allow Beard some longevity because she's not doing the brutal yardage day in and day out that can damage her knees or shoulders. The Irvine swimmers go no more than 40,000 yards in a week, relying on high- speed, race-quality training rather than high-mile- age practices. Amanda does double workouts just two days a week.
"I liken it to how you use an Indy 500 car," says Salo, who developed the program while earning his master's degree at Cal State Long Beach University and a doctorate at USC. "Whereas most people put- put around the track and never rev an engine up more than a few times, we're going through time trials every day. We're maximizing our speed to get the 'pole position.'
"Ifaswimmerwantstogo 1:08 in the breast, why are we going 20,000 a day at a speed equivalent to 1:15. It doesn't make any sense to be training this way. Our team's breaststrokers are able to come back well the last 50 of a 200 because of the way they train. "
Beard is sold on Salo's program, pointing out that she isn't the only one doing well. Steve West, another Irvine breaststroker, barely missed making the U.S. Olympic team with a third in the 200 and fourth in the 100.
Nonetheless, injuries have slowed Beard down this season. She experienced ankle problems in the fall stemming from an old soccer injury, had surgery this winter to remove a cyst from her right wrist and recently has beensufferingfrom pain in her knee and in her left hip.
She remains positive, saying, "I'm not worrying about the future right now. I'm going to take it as a fun thing, like a game. I'm just going to have fun."

POOLSIDE
NOW SEEMS TO BE THE TIME TO CONCENTRATE ON SWIMMING, I THINK I STILL HAVE A LOT MORE POTENTIAL
K.irm Hefanstaedl
When Mananne Linipert walks onto die pool deck in Europe, someone inevitably saw, "Oh. there's that lovely Canadian girl!"
It's tine, Linipert hits a lot of things going for her. just one of which is her clean, good looks. But what Europeans notice the most is her abihtv and readiness to communicate — in their own language if possible.
When asked questions in French, Limpert answers in kind. Try her in German and her heritage — both of her parents are German — sows her well. She also studies Spanish as part of a degree in Humanistic Studies at McGill University in Montreal, so it's not sur- prising that her career objectives lie in the direction of International Relations. It's one of the things she does best
But at 24, the Olympic silver medallist is in no rush to finish school. "I have two more years to go, but I'm not worried about drag- ging it out," she says. "I can do school when- ever, and now seems to be the time to concen- trate on swimming. I think I still have a lot more potential."
Sitting in Canet, taking shelter from a downpour, Limpert is an interviewer's dream. Talkative and unassuming, sheseems at home wherever she is, comfortable despite a helter skelter schedule, and always ready to laugh.
Does she think of herself any differently since winning a medal for Canada in Atlanta? How has it changed her life? Limpert's first reaction is to say that the medal did little more than make her more confident. She doesn't really think about it much. Andyet, as she talks, it becomes clear that winning an Olympic medal has in fact pro- foundly affected her existence.
She jokingly explains the novel fact that her father, a helicopter pilot and manager of a division of Canadian Helicopters, now goes through life as "Marianne's Dad."
Then she thinks about it some more.
"I did so many appearances falter Atlanta)," she says, "and it was a lot more stressful than I had imagined!"
After resuming training and classes in Montreal in the fall. Limpert spent some whirlwind weekends making pub- lic appearances. She cites one in particular that saw her fly to Fredericton for a McDonald's dinner on Friday evening, get up on Saturday morning to fly to Vancouver for a dual meet with OBC (she swam the 400 EM, 200 breast, and a relay), take off to Whistler where she met up with Curtis Myden to be present for the SNC Annual General Meeting,
More living honu' Sunday evening and making it to class at 8:30 on Monday morning.
"II was fun and a great learning experience, but I was jusl dead!" she laughs. She adds that she plans to cut down mi appearances until Perth, then remembers there is a
Winning an Olympic medal has profoundly affected her existence
photo shoot for Speedo coming up in Phoenix...
"Things just keep coming up!" she grins. "But the money is kind of nice."
While she is a long way from sprinter Donovan Bailey, personal sponsorships have certainly made Limpert's life easier. She has deals with Speedo, Immunotec protein powder, Power Bar, and Swiss Air. AJM Campbell, a nation- wide movingcompany, has also leased her acar forthe next two years.
So in asubtle way, being asought-aftersilvermedallist has given Limpert a different sense of responsibility in her sport. "I do feel obliged to uphold the image, in away," she admits. "I feel I have tostayinshape, and stay/competitive."
That feeling made her start training "too early" after the Olympics. "I took way too little time off," she says,"and gotback in the water in September. I wanted to take it a little easier this year but 1 just got thrown into it again," she says.
The heavy schedule was likely the cause of an illness that struck her after competing at the World Cup in Hong Kong. "1 think I was just really worn out and 1 got ahorrible cold and had to take antibiotics," she comments. Limpert never made it back to the World Cup, householding herself instead for Nationals and the CIAUs,
And of course she doesn't get home to see her parents much these days. "But I'm getting used to it," she sighs. "They come to see me now, when they can."
But if Olympic medals have away of taking over one's social calendar, Limpert is nevertheless a swimmer who deals with it by knowing herself better and better. She chooses her competitions herself, taking the time of year, quality of competition, school and finances into account. The Mare Nostrum tour is attractive not only for the cash prizes, but also for the chance to "get some good racing in back to back."
"I'm not a trainer, I'm a racer," she says. "I was a bit worried coming here (to Europe) because I hadn't raced since the CIAUs, but it's been good."
For the record, Limpert won the 200 IM at all three competitions, posting a 2:16.48 in Monaco.
"I like these meets because I have to adj ust to different things like heat, cold, and different food."
Limpert's ability to adapt has no doubt contributed to her success. After following her coach, Claude Saint-Jean, to Montreal, where she enrolled in university, Limpert discovered that the travelling time to the Claude Robillard Centre was just too much. For the sake of convenience, she began training part of the time at McGill with Francois Laurin. The arrangement has worked out, and while the two coaches still communicate regularly, Limpert will remain with Laurin for the duration of the summer. "I got more attention from Francois because there were fewer people, and I think I needed that this year," says the only child who professes to have the "attention span of a gerbil."
Pleased with her results in Europe, Limpert is confi- dent that either program can work for her. "I'm doing mainly IM work although I'll still swim some freestyle," she says of her work with Laurin. "We do a lot of heartrate sets, and a lot of 50s working on the IM splits."
After the Mare Nostrum tour, Limpert accorded herself ashort trip to visit family in Germany. "I haven't seen them all for a few years and my grandmother just turned 90. 1 brought my medal along to show her."
The infamous medal, now so much a part of her, still has an aura of unreality. "Sometimes, when I show it to people, I look at it and think "Wow! I really won this!" But its colour — so close to gold — is also part of what is push- ing her on to Sydney. "I know I can swim a lot faster," she says.
In Germany, Limpert managed to train during public swim hour at a local pool. Her Uncle Helmut stood on the side, video camera in hand, recording her strokes for posterity. "He's always got the video camera out!" Limpert laughs, her modesty showing red in her cheeks.
Good thing though, because given his niece's agenda, it will be a while before the next visit.

CANADIAN PROSPECT
THE BIGGER THE MEET, THE BETTER I THINK I'D DO
Karin Helmstaedt
Garrett Pulle believes that "hard times are good because you learn from them."
The 19-year-old butterflyer from Markham has had the occasional brush with adversity to drive that lesson home.
One night last November, as he and a friend were leaving the Markham Fair, a gang of bikers from Stoufville appeared from nowhere in the parking lot and assaulted them. "They basically jumped us," he says. "They knocked out seven of my teeth, and the next day I had seven root canals."
Because of that episode, Pulle missed two weeks of training and didn't compete until late December. He then turned around in February to qualify for the Short Course World Championships in Sweden.
"Everything that happens to me makes me so much stronger," says a slightly philosophical and positive- thinking Pulle. "I really believe that."
Pulle got into competitive swimming through a twist of fate at the age of eight. "My dad went to sign me and my sister up for Red Cross swimming lessons, and all the courses were full. So he signed us up for competi- tive swimming instead. I didn't even know what it was."
Markham nurtured him along as an age grouper until 1995 when he encountered problems of a political nature within the club. "I looked up to a lot of people there and I was quite attached to the club, but I learned that the only people that really stuck by me were my family," he says.
He moved to the Ajax Aquatic Club to train with Paul Meronen, who had a similar sprint programme to
that of Garrett's previous coach, Bill OToole. But while he was happier in the new surroundings, something was still amiss. "I wasn't enjoying swimming the way I had when I was 10," he remembers. "Certain experiences (at Markham) had taken away my love for the sport. I knew I didn't want to quit, but I definitely needed a break."
Pulle's plan was to take two months off before returning to the pool in June of that year, but instead, he tripped down a flight of stairs and broke his leg. That meant his entire summer season was shot. A setback? No way. Pulle talks of each experience in almost thankful temis.
"That time did me so much good," heexplains, "By the end of the summer I was dreaming of swimming every night. You don't know how much you miss some- thing until you don't have it. 1 just realized how much I needed the sport."
September saw him back on track with renewed drive, and despite the injuries in November, he's having the year of his life.
He says in no uncertain terms, "If I hadn't stopped swimming last year, I wouldn't be where I am now. I've learned so much from everything that has happened to me."
As a national team rookie in Sweden, Pulle distin- guished himself by making the final of the 100 butterfly with apersonal best time of 53.17. Swimming alongside the best in the world did him good, as he broke the 53 second mark to finish eighth in 52.74, just 3/100 behind teammate Eddie Parenti.
"Goteborg was the best experience of my life. It's totally different from swimming here. Everything I dreamed of as a kid.. ..that's what it was."
Pulle explains that his impression was based on the atmosphere of the meet and the competition itself, but he pauses before adding, "It was also the pride I felt putting on that Canada track suit. That's something so many people take for granted, but it's a special thing."
Coach Paul Meronen commented that Pulle's per- formances were "not surprising because of the consist- ent quality he produces in workouts."
"I couldn't ask for a more dedicated athlete," he says. "And when he returned from Sweden, I was really pleased to hear him say that he didn't feel overwhelmed when he walked on the deck. He has what most elite athletes have, and that's a certain degree of self-confi- dence based on the work he has put in."
Pulle describes his relationship with Meronen as one of "mutual respect."
"He's helped me so much.. .he's turned me into a smart swimmer. I didn't know anything about tech- nique before I came to Paul's programme. I was just swimming before. Now I'm swimming and thinking."
At the Ontario Seniors meet Pulle swam a 54.49 1 00 fly to rank him 22nd in the world.
Says Meronen, "That was pretty outstanding con- sidering he had no particular rest."
Like most elite athletes, Pulle has little time for outside activities, but he acknowledges his girlfriend of two years, Michelle. "She's one of my main inspira- tions," he says. "The funny thing is, she's never seen me in the water before in her life!" He hopes she'll make it to Canada Games Trials. For the rest, he contents him- self with some hip hop, reggae, or R & B music.
With one more OAC credit to finish up next year, Pulle plans to take advantage of the year to continue trainingwithMeronenforCommonwealth Trials. While he says he would prefer to study in Canada, he is keeping an open mind about eventual university opportunities. He wants to study Sciences and is thinking about Chiro- practic as a possible career. Another part of him likes to write, and one of his goals is to write a book.
Remembering Goteborg, Pulle says, "It'sfunny because I never really got nervous. The key with me if I want to swim well is not to pump myself up because I get too anxious. I have to swim relaxed, not tense, so my technique doesn't fall apart."
Then he adds quietly, "But I'm into the pressure. I feel like the bigger the meet, the better I think I'd do."
With that kind of attitude, he's the kind of athlete we'd like to see more of.

PROFILE: HELEN DON-DUNCAN
WILL HOT DEFEND EUROPEAN TITLE
Anita Lonsbrough
Helen Don-Duncan became the first British female swim- mer in 12 years to win a European Junior title as she collected the gold in the 200 backstroke at last year's championships.
This year she has stepped up into the senior ranks, something that made her "really chuffed to make the senior team and be with the older and more famous swimmers."
But life is not all plain sailing for the 16 year old from Wigan. GSCE exams have an added priority this year. Fitting her studying and swimming training into a day has been a total commitment by both daughter and parents.
Mother Linda, a special needs assistant, and father John, a county crown green bowler and a deputy head at a primary school, take it in turn to get their daughter up at 5:00 a.m. and in the pool by 5:50.
Following school she is back in the water for another training session! So when does she do her homework? The teenager admits to being "good at arranging my time." Although course work for geography and music has been a little difficult to fit in, no training on Saturday and having most of Sunday free has been a great help.
In the 200 back at the European Championships Trials last April, Don-Duncan finished runner-up to the British record holder, Jo Deakins, but lowered her own British junior record in the process.
Don-Duncan is quite prepared to make decisions for herself.
Even before Deryk Snelling, the Director of Perform- ance, informed her that she would not compete in the European junior championships to be held in Glasgow, she had made the choice not to defend the title she won last year, although she does admit to being "a little disap- pointed."
Don-Duncan, a pupil at Cansfield High School, was not a water baby. Her swimming learning curve started at the age often. But within three years she was in the Asquad, where Ivor Tattum rotated her through 180 degrees to become a backstroker from her first love of breaststroke. Tattum is still her coach.
School work dictates ,and with GSCEs on the horizon, she had to miss travelling with the British team to Barce- lona and Canet for competition followed by a week of high altitude training.
These extra auricular activities, which are far from normal, have been supported by her fellow students. A group of them travelled to Sheffield last year for the Olym- pic trials, where they proudly displayed a Don-Duncan banner.
Don-Duncan is a name one will not easily forget, But Helen Don-Duncan wants to be rememberal not for her unusual name, but for her achievements in the swimming pool.
BRITISH SPEED0 GRAND PRIX FINAL
Susan Rolph cashed in even as Melanie Marshall erased her name from the record book at the Speedo British Grand Prix Super Final, held at Ponds Forge Sport Centre, Sheffield, May 30 and June 1.
Rolph and four other members of the British team for this year's European Championships were given permis- sion to compete in this event, rather than travel with the team to the continent and compete at the Barcelona and Canet meets.
For Rolph, this event increased her bank balance by nearly 4,000 pounds (about $1,700 Canadian). Three of these cash awards were on offer to be shared by swimmers breaking British senior records during the four qualifying rounds and the final. But in theend it was only Rolph, who set new figures for the 50 butterfly at the Cardiff round, who was eligible for the money.
She increased her earnings by winning the 50 and 100 freestyles, and the 50 backstroke, while claiming second in the 50 butterfly and 50 breaststroke and third in the 100 butterfly.
Her victories were not as easy as she may have wished. In the freestyle, 15-year-old Melanie Marshall was close on her heels. The Boston swimmer, who competes under the South Lines banner, was rewarded with a British junior record.
In the 50 free, Marshall's time of 26.56 was just 0. 13 seconds behind Rolph, betteringthe English junior record Rolph set three years ago.
Marshall led at the halfway stage of the 100 freestyle, but Rolph drew on her strength and experience to edge ahead to win in 56.74. Her young rival's time of 57.21 erased Rolph's three-year-old junior record. Marshall finished ahead of Karen Pickering, the Commonwealth champion and record holder.
Rolph's two wins gave her the overall title of sprint freestyle champion.
In the 50 backstroke, Rolph just managed to touch ahead of Portsmouth's Katy Sexton, 15. The margin of victory was just 0.06 seconds. Sexton's time of 30.47 was a British junior record.
Caroline Warren and Suzanne Flookset Welsh records. Warren, of Torfaen, won the 200 breaststroke in 2:37.88. Flook, from Reading, won the 200 butterfly in 2:16.9.3.
Karen Pickering, only third in the 100 freestyle, completed a freestyle distance hat trick, winning the 200, 400, and SOOdistances. After her first victory in the 800, she admitted "I enjoyed that" but quickly added "I wouldn't like to have to swim it every time."
Caroline Foot, at 33 the oldest member of the British team, gained revenge over Susan Rolph, with whom she had tied at the European Trials in the 100 butterly. This time she came home to win with 1:02.82. In the 50 butterfly, Foot had the upper hand and her winning time of 28.55 clinched the butterfly category title for a record eighth time.
The I-eeds duo of Andrew Clayton and Gavin Mead- ows were the other two excused from the continental metis, with all but Meadows joining the team lor their
eight day high altitude training camp at Font Romeu in the Pyrenees.
Clayton won the 100 and 200 freestyle to clinch the sprint title, while Meadows, who was third in the 100 and second in both the 200 and 400 freestyle, finished third in both sprint and distance freestyle categories.
Japan'sTatsuya Kinugasa, an Olympic B finalist now studying in Leeds, left his British rivals welt back in winning the 400 1. M. in 4:24.24.
SCOTTISH CHAMPIONSHIPS
Alison Sheppard made a flying visit home to compete in the Scottish Championships, which were held in the new 50-m pool in Glasgow.
The three-time Olympian made her journey from Canada worthwhile by lowering her Scottish record in the 50 freestyle to 26.26, just 0.02 outside the qualifying time for the European Championships. She is not planning to enter the ASA Championships in July, where any available spots on the British team will be filled.
Sheppard was third in the 100 freestyle behind Karen Pickering and Claire Huddart.
The British team, fresh from its eight-day training at high altitude, dominated the first three days of the Cham- pionships. Few competed on the final day.
The 200 freestyle for both men and women drew together members of the squad that will swim the relay at the European Championships in Sevilla. Pickering's win- ning time of 2:02.31 (her season best) avenged her third- place finish at the trials behind Vicki Horner and Claire Huddart.
AndrewClayton took the men's 200 freestyle in 1:51.62, followed closely by James Salter and Gavin Meadows.
James Hickman, the world short course champion, won both fly events. It was his win in the 200 that gave him the most pleasure, for he recorded his first unshaved sub- two-minute (1:59-59) swim.
Susan Rolph and Caroline Foot appear to be taking turns at the 100 butterfly . At the trials they were even (tied for first) with 1:02.46. Foot prevailed at the Grand Prix Final, but Rolph won herewith a personal best of 1:02.32. Foot won the 50 fly in 28,39-
GOOD NEWS FOR ROLPH
In December 1996, Susan Rolph won both the 100 and 200 individual medley events at theshort course European Championships, held in Rostock, Germany. Her time of 2: 10.60 for the 200 equalled the standard time laid down for a European record.
LEN officials at the event ruled that the time set by Petra Schneider in 1982 had to be bettered to be a record. Despite several appeals, they were adamant that Rolph's time was not a record.
Sense prevailed in theend, and the LEN bureau ruled that Susan Rolph's time was a record.
Rolph becomes the first British woman to hold any kind of European record since Sarah Hardcastle in 1986

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE CANADA GAMES
IT WAS THE BEST Of TIMES, IT WHS THE WORST OF TIMES
Katharine Dunn
11k' sun \va> shining brilliantly in the summer sky uhin we st«.'i>|x.\l off ilie airplane in our identical royal blue andwhitecrinkled cotton uniforms. On the ground we were greeted by several volunteers whose eyes glittered with pride as they welcomed us to their home. And as we were ushered onto nearby buses whose engines revved in anticipation, my friends and I nudged each oilier and grinned: We had made it.
No, it wasn't the Olympic Games nor the World Championships. Rumours of some team's alleged steroid useweren'tcirculatingthe village. And no, the world wasn't watching the athletes as we won our races, tied our matches, or lost our competitions.
But Canada certainly was.
It was August 1989, and the Nova Scotia Canada Games team arrived in Saskatoon for the second week of athletic competition. At 14, 1 was a relative new- comer to the national scene, and to me, the swim meet was of colossal importance. I was planning to make my mark in Saskatoon, and catapult myself to the next level, where swimmers are ineligible for Canada Games.
This was also my first large-scale all-sport ath- letic event. Swimming is celebrated for its individual- ity, and I was finally able to live out my team-sport fantasies, since here it was, province versus province, not just me versus the girl in lane four.
Although the Games themselves were memora- ble and exciting f sort of in a rol ler coaster-like way) , when I think back, I can best recall my races at the trials.
The entire 1988/89 swimming season was de- voted to preparing for the Canada Games trials, held in Halifax in May. Our roach decided that he wanted this to be the Most Important Meet of Our Lives," so, instead of commuting back and forth to the pool with our parents, we stayed in a hotel and rented limou- sines that escorted us to finals each night. The pres-
sure was on, but we were confident.
I remember bouncing up to my father, who was officiating on the side-lines, after warm-ups the first night. 1 was convinced 1 knew how events would unfold. "I'm going to win the 100 back tonight, Daddy," 1 whispered. He was so nervous he couldn't bear to watch, thus neglecting his stroke-and-turn judge duties. My mother didn't even make it to the pool to witness the event from the stands, instead opting for a weekend of anxiously not eating and catching my races on the local cable station that was covering the trials.
After securing my spot on the Canada Games team, there was a definite let-down. I had devoted almost nine months to the task. Now what?
The coaches did their best to prepare us for the long summer ahead. And I eventually returned to my

feisty self and covered my bedroom walls with hand- drawn posters whose catchy positive-thinkingphrases and dream goal times kept me focussed.
After a bustling summer of training camps, so- cial events, bathing suit/team apparel sizing sessions and a great deal of anticipation, we arrived in Saskatoon, hummingtheGames' theme song ("Look out, look out, look out world. . . ") under our breath.
And let's just say that it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
There was a lot to be excited about. So much free stuff was thrown at us that we began to take it for granted ("Not another long sleeve shirt. . ."). I be- came a pin-trading wizard, and even managed to snag one of the highly coveted NWT polar bear swim- ming pins. But best of all was the feeling that I was part of something bigger than just me, my team, or even my sport. All of the athletes shared a bond that outsiders really couldn't understand. Within the bub- ble that was the Games village, we were the centre of everyone's attention. How often does that happen?
The swimming, on the other hand, was not so great. I made finals but my times were far from my goals. The entire Nova Scotia team was disappointed with our performance. I think we failed to look beyond the challenge and exhilaration of qualifying for the Canada Games Team, when in fact not only the trials but the Games themselves should have been treated like a means to the next level.
For some, however, the Games were a send-off party of sorts. Bidding adieu to provincial allegiances, these swimmers, such as 1996 Olympic silver medal- list Marianne Limpert, have since gone on to claim Canada as their "home town." And I'm certain the Canada Games set the stage for the impressive careers of many of these elite athletes.
KatharineDunn will be covering the 1997 Canada Games for SWIMNEWS this August.

This book is a delightful story about familiar animals who come together to learn and discuss the many different aspects of mental preparation in sport (and life). The focus is on six foundational skills - namely - self awareness, goalsetting, relaxation or energizing, positive self-talk, imagery, and attention. Each topic is addressed in a systematic way to introduce and explain important mental constructs like self-confidence, competitive anxiety, concentration and motivation. The text adopts a workbook approach which is self-paced and one that fosters interaction among teammates, coaches and parents.

Imagery is a movement or a situation created or recreated in the mind in the absence of the actual movement or situation. It can involve all five senses. It can comprise of different mental pictures that can influence your thoughts, feelings and actions.
Remember:
Imagery is a creative ability to turn your thoughts into pictures. Pictures can be of the snapshot ' variety or 'movies ' of the mind You can effectively carry out this mental skill at any time or place. Images can be constructive (positive) or destructive (negative).

<► When injured or temporarily incapacitated.
Some things thai I can do:
* Use simple exercises to appreciate the power of imagery by making my images vivid (detail) and controllable (speed).
* Allow the feelings associated with the image both emotional and kinesthetic to emerge.
* See my performance both through my own eyes (subjectively) or from outside of my body (objectively).
* Practice positive imagery on a regular basis before expecting any results. Have a good attitude or belief that imagery can actually help me to perform more efficiently.
♦ See myself accomplishing my goals.
♦ Adopt relaxed states (relaxation exercises) before doing my imagery exercises.
* Create my own visualization script for training and competition with an eye for detail.
♦ Practice my imagery skills in different simulated conditions.
* Develop triggers or cue words that will evoke the image quickly.
* Use my past experiences to help me create the right images.
* Plan to use effective images when I most need them.
Note: Images can serve as self-fulfilling prophecies. If you see the detailed picture often enough it is likely to happen. Images can bring about a desired mental harmony. It is difficult to visualize something
