    played in diving well,
    today for the first time ever,
    I made a streamline glide all the way across a 25 yard pool.
    a streamline glide is where you:
    1) push off the wall streamlined and
    2) glide as far as you can but
    you can't kick,
    you can't pull,
    you can't breathe,
    you can't break your streamline
    you can only glide and see how far you can go
    Try it
    Mike Varozza witnessed it.

    Here's a video I made Friday Apr 22nd, 2011

    Bummer, no practice today. I was really looking forward to fast Friday and was even hoping to double. BUT it snowed last night all over Central Texas and a little bit of snow and ice shuts Texas down.

    I might have been able to train with Longhorn Aquatics or UT Men this afternoon but I have an important appointment at 4:00 that I can't miss.

    We got a series of emails keeping us informed or our practice situation. starting with

    Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 7:00 PM
    Subject: [txla-agegroup] Masters and Tom's groups canceled


    While we usually try to align with AISD's closings, they are waiting to make a decision until tomorrow morning, which is too late for our practices. We have decided to err on the side of caution and cancel Friday morning practices for Masters and Senior Longhorn and Longhorn Training group.
    There will still be a noon masters practice unless UT closes.


    From: Whitney
    Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 6:30 AM
    Subject: [txla-masters] no noon practice


    University Community

    The university will be closed today due to inclement weather.

    As the situation progresses tonight and tomorrow, updates specific to evening events and shifts, closure, and reopening will be available on at http://www.utexas.edu/, through local media, and by calling the university's general information number, 512-232-9999.

    Be safe.


    Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 9:06 AMSubject: [txla-agegroup] Practices for SRLH / LHTG / Sen / Natl today

    IF you feel comfortable on the roads, Tom will have practice for Senior Longhorn and Longhorn Training Group 1 - 3 pm at the TSC and Doug will have practice for Senior and National groups form 3 - 5 pm at the TSC.

    Congrats to my Longhorn Teammate Mike Varrozza, awesome swimmer & owner of Waterloo Swim School, I trained in his lane yesterday and he said nothing to me about this article. yesterday he led the fly set so he was the lane leader & a wonderful draft provider for me.

    PHOENIX, Arizona, January 4. MASTERS swimmer Mike Varozza of Longhorn Aquatics is featured in the latest issue of Swimming World Magazine as a Lane Leader.
