We are all trying to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic as best we can. Staying at home and not socializing is not an easy task for anyone, and keeping a swimmer out of the pool is equally antagonizing. Therefore, SwimSwam is starting the Swimming From Home Talk Show, where host Coleman Hodges speaks with the swimming community about how they’re coping with our current goggle-less reality.
Annie Lazor is doing everything she can to maintain pool time during this quarantine, and that means swimming wherever she can. Along with IU post-grads Cody Miller and Lilly King, Lazor has swam in 4 different pools over the last 2 weeks. Currently, they’re training in a 1-lane, 25-yard pool that is INSIDE someone’s home.
Outside of trying to stay in pool shape, Lazor talked us through the IU movie club that some of her teammates had been participating in for a stint.
What part of “stay home” exempts Olympic caliber swimmers?
Is Mission Viejo still open and training? If so, she represents them, why didn’t she go there early on?
great interview! She is well-spoken and has the right attitude for what is going on right now. I hope she continues to do well.
