Congratulations to Carly Cummings on making a verbal commitment to Auburn University!
“The Auburn Tigers have reeled in another verbal commit, this time from NCSA All-Star Team captain Carly Cummings of the Badger Swim Club. Cummings was the team captain for the NCSA’s All-Star squad that traveled to compete at the 2015 Irish Open Championships.
Cummings, a 2-time Scholastic All-American, qualified to swim 4 events at this summer’s U.S. Olympic Trials: The 200 IM, 400 IM, 100 breast, and 200 fly. Her highest finish came in the 200 IM, where she placed 29th overall in a time of 2:17.19. She also swam that event at the 2016 U.S. Open, where she earned a 13th place finish.” Read More.

Cody Miller finished his 2016 Rio Games as a part of Olympic history.
The Las Vegas resident and Palo Verde High School product won gold swimming the breaststroke leg of the United States’ 4×100 medley relay, in what might have been the final Olympic race of Michael Phelps’ storied career.
Miller, who won bronze in the 100-meter breaststroke earlier in Rio, helped the U.S. set an Olympic record with a time of 3:27.95.
He entered the water second for the Americans after Ryan Murphy began the race with a world-record 51.85 second split in the backstroke. Miller was in second by the time he handed the race to Phelps after a 59.03 split, though, because Adam Peaty of Great Britain swam a world-record 56.59 split in the breaststroke.
Phelps put the U.S. back ahead in the butterfly, and Nathan Adrian closed it out in the freestyle. It’s the first gold medal of Cody Miller’s career, but it was the 23rd for Phelps.
Badger Age Group Team: Tryouts and Training
Coming off an amazing summer, Badger Age Group Team is offering tryouts until September 4th. This past summer was filled with fast swimming by our Senior Team athletes at several national meets: 17 swimmers went to Olympic Trials, seven to the U.S. Open, four to Junior National Championships, 15 to Futures Championships, and one to Rio where he earned a Bronze Medal and set an American Record. He also won Gold as a member of the 400 Medley Relay.
On the Age Group side, though no medals were won in Rio, we saw our swimmers from the 8’s, 10’s, and Junior Team earn their own medals with standout swimming at Junior Olympics. There were numerous individual event winners as well as a run of relay wins by the 11-12 boys. They won 3 out of 4 of the relay events. Fast swimming continued at Counties and Conferences where we saw our swimmers finish among the top scorers and finishers in several events. There were numerous individual event winners, high point scorers, and record breaking swims…the summer was a hit, and it will only get better as we look forward to the fall.
Badger is already planning ahead to the 2016 – 2017 season and continued success at the age group level and beyond.
Tryouts for any interested age group swimmers will be offered at Badger Pool (119 Rockland Avenue, Larchmont) during all August age group workouts. Swimmers interested should plan to arrive and stay for the full workout to really gain a true BADGER experience and get to know the coaches and team

As reported by Swim Swam:
“On day 2 of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, American newcomer Cody Miller swam his way to the podium, breaking an American Record in the process. Miller swam a 58.86 to become the fastest American in history, breaking the previous American Record of 58.94 set by his Rio teammate Kevin Cordes at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials.
Miller’s swim was not only a new American Record, but it also earned him his first ever Olympic Medal. He finished 3rd, taking the bronze medal behind Great Britain’s Adam Peaty, who won the race in a World Record time of 57.13, and South Africa’s Cameron Van Der Burgh, who swam to silver in 58.69.” Read More
