We have another suit rip! During this speed set, Roland Schoeman had more speed than his x-glide could handle. Just another day at PSC.

This reminds me of my favorite aspect of Floswimming: Weekly Wednesday Workouts!!
Calswim65…no clue. I’m not going there… Ha!
Just glad Garrett’s back behind the camera, capturing great content!
wardrobe malfunctions aside, I love seeing Garrett’s workout videos again.
I’m an old-school swimmer and remember the ridiculous bikini-sized paper suits that I used to squeeze into – REALLY glad those suits didn’t have the same “malfunctioning” issues.
Mel – if these do in fact happen in 3s, will the next malfunction be male or female? Is this a conspiracy by the suit manufacturers to drum up interest in their gear? Or is this an attempt by USA Swimming to generate more interest in the sport? Inquiring minds want to know…
It still seems odd to see “Roland Schoeman” in the same sentence as “back end speed”…if he can close anywhere near that fast with his typical first 50 he’s gold.
So good to see @Rolandschoeman still swimming fast. I learned a lot by watching his stroke and he has one of the best if not the best starts in the world. Good luck at Trials and in London!!
Ha…. No, but we are big kids who undstand the reality of being an elite swimmer. Sometimes that means that suits rip…. You know, Petero, things always happen in 3s. Who’s next….?
Is this becoming a male sex-ploitation website after the Nathan Adrian affair??!!
