Swimming is a leisurely activity for many who love the
water. It is not a skill easily acquired though, going from splishing and
splashing to performing full on backstrokes is not the easiest thing to do.
Noone knows this better than Missy Franklin.
The 17-year old swimmer from
Colorado learned to swim at the age of 7, and with her continuous dedication
and hard work has headlines streaming her name. Franklin is being dubbed sport’s
“next big thing”. 14-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps has even called
her a “stud”.
Many believe she will be the United State’s new swimming star after
Phelps’ retirement following the London Olympics. Franklin is entered in the U.S.
Olympic trials in Omaha, Neb. competing in five events – the 100 and 200
backstroke, the 100 and 200 freestyle and the 50 free.
Good luck to Missy and to Team USA!
