The first couple days of the Olympics have had mixed results
for Team USA. Already with a couple gold medals – we are performing well – but certain
events are struggling. The increasing presence of Chinese and other new swimming
competitors has challenged our dominance in the sport. Some countries may turn
on their team for having a lackluster performance – but not Team USA. We need
to support our swimmers and carry them back up to the podium.
The THERAPY-IV knows a thing or two about performing well in
the water. For over 45-years, The THERAPY-IV has been taking people on trips of
a lifetime like Miami Marlin fishing, deep sea fishing Miami and more. They
have made themselves an integral part of their community through teamwork and
local pride – that’s what is needed for this US swim team.
American superstar swimmers like Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte
took a blow with the loss of a big relay race yesterday. As two veterans of the Olympics, Lochte and
Phelps should be able to bounce back in the coming days – but we should still
support them and let them know the United States is behind them. Michael Phelps
pulled off a phenomenal Olympic performance in Beijing 2008, and is poised to
become the greatest Olympian of all time if he can win some of the events he’s
in. That is certainly something to get excited about.
The Olympic swimming team is more than just Phelps and
Lochte of course; with dozens of talented athletes all making their mark this
Olympics, there’s plenty to be proud of. It’s time for the USA to step-up its
support for our swimming team and root them on to Olympic gold. The Olympics
overall medal count is deeply affected by aquatic sports – so their success
could mean the overall success of Team USA.
