Swimming - the sport is to overcome the swim in the shortest time, various distances[1]. At the same time in an underwater position in the current rules now allowed to swim no more than 15 meters after start or turn (in swimming breaststroke this restriction is formulated differently) high-speed types of diving are not for swimming, and to underwater sports.

By the classification of the IOC (the principle of "one federation - one of the sport) swimming as a sport includes: the actual swimming, water polo, diving and synchronized swimming [2] in the Russian sports literature as a synonym for navigation in this sense used the phrase "water sports". Coordinated development of water sports in the world is engaged in the International Swimming Federation (FINA, fr. FINA, Fédération Internationale de Natation, founded in 1908) [3] [4], conducting world championships (in 1973) in Europe - UEFA European swimming ( LEN, fr. LEN, Ligue Européenne de Natation, founded in 1926) [5], conducting European Championships (since 1926).

According to the All-Russian roster sports all aquatic species are considered different sports.

Also, swimming is part of the modern pentathlon (swimming 200 meters), triathlon (various distances in open water) and some applications around.

This is less a column, and more a Pro-Phelps rant. So buckle up:

Last weekend on the pool deck at the “Snik” Grand Prix, there was a collective gasp – and a small cheer – when Michael Phelps slipped to fourth place in the 200m butterfly.

The gasp originated from swim fans who had never expected this – a day when Michael Phelps, creator of most things cool and wonderful in the swimming community, could fall to fourth.

The cheer originated because, whether they liked it or not, swim fans knew they’d (probably) never see something like that again. It was history in the making, on par with witnessing Duke actually lose in the NCAA Tournament, or Michael Jordan getting beat in one-on-one.

The cheer wasn’t necessarily malicious. It was just reactionary – a golf clap for underdogs who can now say to their kids, “I beat Michael Phelps. Just once.”

That was it.

Most swim fans knew that was it. Because let’s face it, it’s a Grand Prix. It’s not the Olympics. In the Olympics, of course, EVERY American wants Phelps to win. But here, it’s OK to see a younger swimmer have a great, great swim to beat the Mighty Mr. Phelps. That’s fine. Losing in April 2011 is not a HUGE deal.

So what’s been this fuss about Phelps lately?

There have been a few murmurs – not a lot, but a few – claiming that Phelps is “out of whack,” or that he just “isn’t ready for the 200m distance.”

Whatever the case may be, honestly, does it matter at this point in the season? When Phelps was splashing his way through 2007 and pre-Beijing 2008, did anyone pay attention to every detail – dissecting and analyzing – the way we do now? Did anyone REALLY care if Phelps got fourth place at a mid-season race in April 2007?

More importantly: Does anyone even remember?

Here’s something I can’t remember: I can’t remember another time when Phelps has been so up-or-down in the Monday-morning-quarterback media POV. Austin? He was done, retired, through. Indianapolis? He was a savior, back in black, Mr. Aquaman. Ann Arbor? He was in purgatory – neither here nor there.

Partially to blame is the current state of sports blogging and Internet consumerism. It’s always a daily headline, an up-to-the-second opinion, or it’s a way to cut someone down, to inflict judgment.
It reminds me of a poster on the wall of my third-grade teacher’s classroom: “Don’t blow out another’s candle to make yours glow brighter.”
We cut others down to build ourselves up. I’ve been prone to this. But let’s just take a step back, and relax a second.

What’s ridiculous is this constant Phelps-hounding – from not just the press, but (sometimes) from his own base – swim fans.

He’s a celebrity. He is overanalyzed, over-scrutinized. He takes it because he can, and he uses it as motivation (See: London, 2012). Truth is, I’m just waiting for the day when Phelps says to doubters: “The only swimming that matters – ultimately – is in Omaha and London in 2012. See you then.”

Phelps doesn’t owe us anything. I’ve said this before. That he feels he needs to give explanation for a mid-season swim is just ridiculous. The middle of the season is like Vegas – what happens there, stays there. A fourth place in April? Not the end of the world. Not the Olympics. Not the Olympic Trials.

There are no water-into-wine stories in the mid-season purgatory of swimming.

I’m done judging Phelps. Sure, when he scratches from races at championship meets, or scratches from Grand Prix meets he previously committed to, it’s my job to prod, poke, and/or write about it. Sure, if he doesn’t perform well at this summer’s Worlds, then I’ll write what needs to be said, if anything.

But no one in the history of the world is going to remember that he finished fourth last weekend. Just like we can’t recall his mid-season meets in 2006, 2007 or even 2008.

See, the thing is, Michael Phelps is so good, his “mid-season meets” are E
