Swimmers have the most incredible bodies because they are using every single muscle they have. Wow, I almost couldn't type that sentence without drooling on the keyboard. They have to use those muscles to propel themselves through the water at incredible amounts of speed. Using every inch of every muscle possible to be able to surpass their opponents. Training day in and day out with every muscle on their body. Oh, sorry, almost lost track of what I was writing here.

Yes, we are definitely stuck on their bodies. We don't like to admit it but we look at your bodies just as much as you men look at ours. We just have more will power than you do and well, lets admit this too, our brains do not automatically get stuck on just the one thing. Oh yes we do have advantages, but you didn't hear it from me.

But sorry ladies, while I was doing some research for this article I ran into some posts by his girlfriend. She is getting a little upset about all the talk about her man. I think I would get nervous too if a world full of women were drooling over my man. But relax, believe it or not most women are pretty practical about their fan crushes and realize they will never happen, so please, Michael's girlfriend, let us drool a little longer, or supply us with another one to look at. Swimmers are just hot!

So all you men out there, if you are reading this, I guess you know which sport to try next or where to work out during the week. The local swimming hole is where all of us women want to see you, working all those muscles, not just getting a tan. Swimming is low resistance so you don't have to be a body builder already to jump in that water. Just get moving and with in a short period of time I may be writing an article about you and all the women who will be drooling.

Coach Bowman told his mother, after a while, that it was time to take the next step, which was, to train to make the U. S. Olympic swim team. His mother thought he was too young, Coach Bowman prevailed, and the journey began.

Four years ago, in Greece, Michael won his first Gold medal. This year, with President Bush, First Lady Laura Bush, and their daughter Barbara, Henry Kissinger, and many other dignitaries in the audience, Michael won the first Gold medal of the 2008 Olympics, for swimming, for the United States, he won the medal in the 400 meter IM, he had not lost that race in six attempts.

Michael had said before the race that this race would set the table for the other races to come. Michael is trying to become the worlds greatest medal holder, he has three more to go. From the looks of things he will not have a problem accomplishing his goal. His mom, Debbie is his greatest inspiration. Michael is certainly an inspiration for all youngsters and teenagers around the world, and especially in the United States, also all his friends in Baltimore, Maryland.

The world record set by the US on Saturday was smashed by the Americans again - by a stunning 3.99 seconds - and the first five finishers in the final (United States, France, Australia, Italy and Sweden) all went under the old world record.

The US and Australia went head-to-head for the first 200m, with France further back. France's Frederick Bousquet slipped past the Australians in the third leg to challenge for the lead. Lezak went into the final leg well behind Bernard, with the Frenchman holding a comfortable lead, but then Lezak began to haul in a fading Bernard over the final 30m. With both men lunging for the line, Lezak just touched out Bernard to give the US gold.

"It was unbelievable! Jason (Lezak) finished the race better than we could have asked for. In the last 50 (meters), I was like, this is going to be a really close race. At the end, as you could see I was pretty excited, I was very emotional," Phelps said after the race.

Australia's Eamon Sullivan set a world record for the Men's 100m with a stunning lead-off leg of 47.24 to shave more than two-tenths of a second off Bernard's old mark. Sullivan's superb swim means the 22-year-old will start as favorite in front of Bernard for the Men's 100m Freestyle. Heats start on Tuesday, 12 August.
