- Anyone can win, Anyone can lose, Swim The Race.
- Great Finishes Count. Practice Them. 1/3 of all races in the 2008 Olympics changed positions in the last 5 meters.
- Put Yourself In Position To Win. Winners were in the race all the way. Maybe not leading early but in the race all the way.
- Be Generous in Defeat. Then get determined not to have to do it again!
- Swim for Your Team.
- Stroke Technique is Everything.
