Holy Cow! Patrick Sullivan had open heart surgery three years ago to repair an aortic aneurysm and replace a heart valve with one from a cow. Now that the 48-year-old is back in the pool and faster than ever, he hopes to motivate others to keep swimming after surgery. Keep it up, Patrick!

Would you get up to start swimming at 3:45 a.m.? John Goode did!
The Google Masters Swimming member set a goal to swim 1,000 miles in 2025. With Google’s pool closed on weekends and holidays, he had only about 250 days to achieve his goal. That means he needed to average about 4 miles a day, meaning he needed the early start to get all of his distance in. His lanemates would join him mid-swim and cheer him on during their morning workout hours.
”At Google, it’s ingrained in us that if your goals don’t make you slightly uncomfortable, they aren’t big enough,” says John, 58. “It was a moonshot in the truest sense of the word.”
John achieved his goal and is now working on his butterfly technique. We can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next!

We're cheering for the Rams today! 🐏🏈
Fun USMS tie: Super Bowl champ Matt Stafford counted for his dad, John, at our 2023 Summer Nationals.
Now his dad's a two-time national champ and Matt's back in the NFC Championship Game. Talent runs in the family.
Good luck, Matt! 👏
