Some views from Trials

The Aquazone is billed as 100,000 sq. feet of fun for fans. And it is! It's been a great place to buy stuff (since none of the shirts we received say anything about Trials - go figure), see stuff and just enjoy some of the lighter side of swimming. Long lines for autographs, displays of Olympic medals throughout the last 100 years, try your skills in riding "the shark" and sign up to win a BMW (can I pray for that one!!).

You'll notice that Michael's feet aren't

totally on the ground!!

There are four stairwells, one on each corner of the pool. This is the view from lane 9 @ the turn end.

This is the Omega microphone starter's use. It's been around for a little while but there's 

quite a conversation about how to hold it - whether to use two hands or one - whether to 

use one hand and one thumb on each button or two fingers or two thumbs. Most of it depends on how big your hands are. What it for sure is every starter needs to know how to 

use just one hand when there is a hearing impaired swimmer (as we have here), 

freeing the other arm for visual signals. 

 This is behind the lane 9 start end corner. The top two in each finals are

asked to sign it. A few of the signatures are below: Eric Shanteau (100 Breast - a cancer survivor) - Michael Phelps - Ryan Lochte - Missy Franklin
