Misty Hyman will be at the Lander on November 30th!
I met Misty during our years of swimming in Arizona when she was graciously swimming in local meets as an Ambassador for USA swimming. She is known for her beautiful butterfly, pioneering the underwater dolphin kick (I have video showing her kicking to the 15m mark on every length and taking just 4 strokes to every wall). She has inspired swimmers for the last 13 years at least, since she won Olympic gold in the 200 butterfly at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She makes it look easy, but we know, of course, there are many many hours of practice behind her achievement.
For good measure, I've posted a short video of Michael Phelp's butterfuly. Notice that he gets to the same chest press down, arms up over the head position, and that he has a beautiful monster underwater dolphin kick.
Watch, learn, take the opportunity to meet Misty and be inspired to fly!
