I thought at last year’s worlds winning by four points was unheard of, so to win by five is amazing.”

London 2012 Olympic Swimming
By Padyn Reep
The London 2012 Olympic swimming was as fast as always. There was a lot of highlights from the London games. Michael Phelps winning by 0.1 seconds coming in with 4 gold medals, The women’s swim team coming home with 8 gold medals, and Missy Franklin coming home with 4 gold medals and 1 bronze medal.
The Olympic Games have been held all over the world since 776 B.C, And it still brings cheers and tears to people all over the world. Swimming has been held at the Olympics since the Olympics started. It was 1899 when the first pool was built ( They used lakes and seas instead of pools at that time). It wasn’t till 1908 until the Olympics actually started using a pool for racing and other stuff instead of something like Plunge for Distance, Underwater Swimming Race, and the Underwater Obstacle Course that they played in lakes/ seas/ etc..
The people that were picked for the Olympics Mens Team consisted of Ryan Lochte, Michael Phelps, Nathan Adrian, and Cullen Jones.
The women’s team consisted of Missy Franklin, Jessica Hardy, Lia Neal, and Allison Schmitt. Both team’s combined brought home 18 medals. And the whole U.S team brought home 104 medals claiming victory for the U.S. The Olympics were a blast this year and I know people all over the world are waiting for the Summer Olympics to come back in 2016.
