Check out this interview of Aaron (includes a shout out to this site!).

With less than 175 days to go before the start of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, now is the time to act for those seeking event tickets and travel arrangements.

On August 8, 2008, the Olympic flame will arrive in Beijing from it’s around the world journey. The flame will inaugurate the Games of the XXIX Olympiad and kick off a spectacular chance to see record-breaking competitions and play in this exciting city. ...

... Event Tickets are sold by lottery, and only two lotteries remain. One is scheduled for March, and the second will be in May of 2008. When entering the lottery, register for the highest level you are willing to pay. The computer will award lower price tickets when the higher price tickets are not available.

Happy Valentine's Day!  If sifting through rhyming greeting cards or spending a fortune on a tiny piece of chocolate in a gold box isn't your thing, don't worry - we've got you covered.  Show you care about your sweetie AND the oceans by taking advantage of these free goodies from us!

Put a smile on their face. Show them that humans aren't the only animals that get romantic and remind them, at the same time, we all need to give more love to our oceans and ocean creatures...before it's too late.

The fourth annual Preferred Lifestyle and Brands of China’s Richest reported that swimming is the favorite recreational activity (beating out driving BMW’s and travelling to France) of the 660 millionaires interviewed by the report. In related news every single swimming company, professional swimmer and agent in America reinforced their Asian marketing plans.

This upcoming Olympics spells HUGE paycheck for swimmers, probably more than ever before. NBC setting up swimmers for huge audiences back home in the States (never mind that miniscule detail of ignoring what is best for the competition) combined with a booming Chinese economy with a taste for all things western spells out potentially gargantuan opportunities for the biggest stars of these Games.

Hey racers,

I know I've been a little MIA lately, but I've gotta little time right now and thought I'd catch up a bit. It's been pretty quiet the past month or so, not too much to report except ... I finished my university classes! Let me tell you, I am stoked. Getting a degree sure feels good.

In pool news, it's training as usual. I've got a lot more time to focus completely on my stroke now that I don't have term papers or midterms to worry about.

In some ways I suppose I'll miss good ol' U of T, but I'm definitely amped for Beijing. Rock 'n' roll. ...
