GMM: If USA Swimming has a crowning achievement, it is their management and presentation of the U.S. Olympic Trials!
In 2008 the audience was awed all eight days. NBC's broadcast of the competition won the network ratings race. Yes, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte faced-off in event after event, and, yes, Natalie Coughlin proved she's the greatest female swimmer on the planet in Omaha, Nebraska. HOWEVER, the 2012 Olympic Trials, according to inside sources, will somehow be bigger, brighter and even better than ever!
Secrets to USA Swimming's new "production additions" have been and will be tightly held until the opening night of the first finals session. You know about the fire on deck, the glowing waterfall, the in-house media profiles, and the Aqua Zone. What more could they do? Apparently, a lot more.
WHAT DO YOU THINK USA SWIMMING WILL DO TO MAKE THE OLYMPIC TRIALS MORE EXCITING IN 2012?

Bianca...it's best swimming competition to attend. Many argue it's a better competition than the Olympics because of the setting and the production.
