Endless Pools at the 2004 USMS Short Course National Championships

Indiana University Natatorium,
Indianapolis, Indiana

Indiana University hosted an Endless Pool on their pool deck at the USMS Short Course Championships April 22-25, 2004. The Endless Pool is now a permanent addition to be used for training and stroke analysis.

Competing in the USMS Long Course Championships were over 1500 swimmers from all over the world ranging in ages from 19 to 94.

At the end of the meet over 350 participants took a test swim and received a free video of their stroke. We received tremendous feedback from all the swimmers who were able to make adjustments to their stroke by watching themselves in the mirror and the underwater camera.

Two Olympic gold medallists Gary Hall Jr. and Rowdy Gaines participated in several races, hushing the crowds prior and sending everyone into a frenzy during the race. Rowdy Gaines participated in the Men's relay for 35+ 200 Yard Freestyle Relay, with his team placing first. Being an Endless Pool owner himself, Gaines stopped by the Endless Pool to check out how the expo was going.

Those who tried the Endless Pool were able to get the underwater videotape of their strokes analyzed by a certified Total Immersion coach to help improve their swim technique.
