May 27, 2021 #164 Casey Barrett
Casey Barrett swam for Canada at the 1996 Atlanta Games in the 200 Fly, placing 11th. He was a 9x All American swimming for Southern California and Southern Methodist. In high school, Casey attended the Bolles School where he once survived 80x200's long course...
Casey hung up his cap and goggles in 1998 but didn't go far. He is the winner of 3 Emmy awards and 1 Peabody award, serving as one of Bob Costas' Prime Time writers for NBC during the 2004, 2006, and 2008 Olympics.
He is the author of the Duck Darley crime series and the co-founder of Imagine Swimming, a learn to swim school in New York City.
You may also remember his swimming blog, Cap & Goggles. In 2015, he published this article about Katinka Hosszu. The Iron Lady promptly sued him and Swimming World Magazine for defamation, which she lost.

May 03, 2021 #157 Andrew Lauterstein
Andrew Lauterstein won the Bronze medal in the 100 Fly at the 2008 Beijing Olympics touching out Ian Crocker by just .01 of a second. He was a 21 year old Aussie with no expectations.
"You know that race that Michael Phelps didn't look like he won but he won? Well I got 3rd in that one." - Andrew Lauterstein
Lauterstein was a superb high school backstroker. At Australian Olympic Trials in 2004 he placed 3rd in the 100 Back. A year later he made the Australian World Champs Team. He was coached by Glenn Baker from age 11 to 21.
Today Andy is a very busy man. He runs Engine Swim with another Australian Olympic Bronze medalist in Toby Haenen, has a swim school, and just took over Mentone Aquatic.
