BICK] Swimming World Presents: Brooke Schultz – All in the Family It was a moment that didn’t become real until they embraced. Arkansas freshman diver Brooke Schultz had just won the NCAA Championship in 3-meter diving and stood, half in shock, on the podium, and accepted the championship trophy from her coach. But it wasn’t just her coach-it was her father, Dale Schultz. “It was kind of crazy,” recalls Brooke, now a sophomore at the University of Arkansas and three-time senior national champion, as well as a gold medalist at the 2017 Junior Pan Ams and as a silver medalist at the 2017 World University Games, “It was really cool to get the award from my dad. Everybody on our team was gathered by the podium. The fact that everybody could be there was really cool, knowing the hard work had paid off.” Dale was a proud coach, but as a dad, had a difficult time keeping his composure with his daughter’s monumental accomplishment. “I was crying like a baby,” he admitted. “It was very emotional for me because of everything we went through—from being a little girl to that point. It was a big deal, and it continues to be a big deal.” To read more about Brooke and what her next biggest goals in the pool are, check out the February 2019 issue of Swimming World Magazine, available now!

Stott 014 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTIMAL MODEL FOR TECHNIQUE: PART 6—ENVIRONMENTAL BASE OF SUPPORT FOR BUTTERFLY by Rod Havriluk To swim butterfly as fast as possible, a swimmer must first optimize the body base of support (by minimizing vertical movement of the shoulder) and then position the hand to gain the most stability from a relatively unstable environmental BOS. With a stable body BOS, a swimmer can more precisely control the hand pitch and hand path to achieve a more effective hand position in the environmental BOS, maximum propulsion and the fastest swimming velocity. 016 INSPIRING SWIMMERS…AND TESTING LIMITS (Part 2) by Michael J. Stott Once swimmers are inspired to complete a difficult task, the resulting action often involves a test of one’s limits.
