Today the USA Swimming National Championships in Indianapolis, IN ended. Those that placed in their respective events punched a ticket to the world championships that will be held in Rome, Italy beginning July 17.
Dara Torres has been on the international scene competitively swimming, with great success, and has won 12 Olympic medals (four gold, four silver, four bronze) over 24 years. During last summer’s Olympics, while Michael Phelps caught most of the prime time headlines in route to winning an Olympic record 8 gold medals, Torres caught my attention. Here is a gal that many thought was past her prime, swimming in her fifth Olympic games. She caught my attention not because of her age, but because of her disciplined determination to be the best she can be.
