Congrats Breeja and Steve Bultman (one who has always been a phenomenal coach and person)!

Breeja is such a young swimmer to have come so far. I mean this girl has been swimming less than 5 years?!?! Any one know how long? Amazing!! Can’t wait to see what Steve does for her and her preparation! go Breeja!

Cordes is 6’6″. The Cal male breastroker (forget his name) who has the NCAA record in yards is 6’8″. Long levers help in every stroke.

Congrats to Breeja Larson. I think she was fully tapered so we’ll see if she can swim faster in London. It will be tough but she has made a great race. We didn’t know her potential in long course. Now we know and it’s giant. And she’s still a baby in swimming. Imagine in 1 or 2 years what times she can do!

Yes I bet she was tapered. But Steve Bultman is very experienced with double tapers – college conference championships with NCAAs three weeks later. I hope that Breeja is still on the fast improvement slope as an inexperienced LCM swimmer. She has one month to work on details like pacing. It was very impressive that she swam 1:06.5>1:07.0>1:05.9 at the biggest LCM of her life.

You don’t often see breaststrokers as tall as Breeja. Kristy Kowal was fairly tall, though I don’t think she was over 6ft.

6’1 is the number I’ve always been told.

Breeja is great!

She is the best surprise of the meet – a two second drop in the 100 to make the team shows how special she is… She is a much bigger inspiration to me as a young swimmer than any of the major ‘NBC’ star swimmers.

Races like this are why I curse NBC every quadrennial. Great swim by Breeja, if she wins gold (w/ WR possibility) she should look at movie rights.
