San Jose, CA (April 24, 2012) – Starting in April, SwimOutlet.com, the web’s most popular swim shop, will become the presenting sponsor for a series of news and insider vignettes highlighting swimming’s biggest stars.
Gold Medal Minute presented by SwimOutlet.com, being produced by Gold Medal Media and featured on the newly-launched SwimSwam.com, is a series of unique, behind-the-scenes interviews, profiles and reports on the world’s greatest aquatic athletes.
Episodes will capture athletes up-close-and-personal as they are rarely seen at the pool, during training or in the moments after their best performances with long-time swimming insider Mel Stewart as host. “Gold Medal Mel” is a three-time Olympic medalist and has reported on swimming since 1996, hosting aquatic events for ABC, NBC, ESPN, TBS, Fox Sports, E! Entertainment News and Yahoo Sports.
With vignettes, news and stories appealing to swimmers and non-swimmers alike, each feature in this 30 episode-run captures the personality of the athletes, giving you an “insiders” point of view on their lifestyle and training as they prepare for the Olympic Games in London. Early episodes include pieces with Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte.

i ment better team will win..Sorry for my bad english grammar,it’s not my mother language
European…. I think a lot people, Olympic fans, in the U.S. are optimistic because USA Water Polo doesn’t come-together and train as much as the National Teams from Europe. A lot of our best talent plays overseas in the down-years between Olympic Games… I’m not a WP analyst, but my friends are, and they all agree Team USA will make a strong run at an Olympic medal. They believe they’ll surprise the compeition this summer in London. (I should add that, arguably, the smartest analyst on our team, Braden Keith, is not as optimistic about USA Water Polo’s chances….but he’s not right 100% of the time, only 99.99% of the time.)
Well,sure Mel,USA can be a factor for the medals,they have also very good players and WP is very unpredictable,but I honestly think that they won’t be a factor at least not for the gold.Don’t get me wrong,i’m not trashtalking,anything can happen,we all now what happened at that 4x100free in Beijing,it’s just my personal opinion,but i’m also not WP player,I’m swimmer,but i happen to come from a country where WP is very popular sport so I know something about it…But we’ll seewhat’s going to happen when the time comes and the better time will win 😉
Well,as a European,i honestly don’t think they’ll even be on the stands.You’ve got Serbia,Italy,Croatia,Montenegro and Hungary all in a race for gold,and judging from the preformances from the last two world champs,I really don’t think USA can get even a medal…
I bet he could too. We talked about it on deck… 19 is very realistic for him…shaved and tapered.
Sounds like the makings of a great bet.
I bet Tony could swim a 19 in the 50y free shaved and tapered.
Great article, USA going for the gold.
Also, where can I buy that suit that Tony is wearing @ 1:15?

thanks, Braden…. re-reading your report now for my follow up with Terry.
Yes….but I’m biased, a long-time fan from the LA Games in 1984 when Terry Schroeder was the Water Polo star. He’s obviously coaching the National Team now. They have huge hurdles ahead of them. A gold would be storybook…
I think Hungary could go down…but didn’t see anything in 2011 to indicate that the US are the ones to take their place. Should at least be a fun tournament – a whole lot of parity this year.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the field, if anyone missed it.
