She handed me an index card with two names on it. She pointed to Alex's name and told me he was pretty fast and I should give him a call.

I put him in the backstroke that year just because he can. In the four years I've worked with him primarily the focus has been on the physical training. Most of what he does technically he just does. We just have to make sure his head is in the right place.

Alex is one of the single most talented swimmers I've had a chance to coach. He was born with a feel for the water that not many people are given.

I've been told the ref is willing to retract the card, but under the regulations he can't.

Anderson and McDermott were two names I was told are high on the list.

Let's not name any names... everything in due course.
