Some thoughts of Natalie Coughlin
Natalie Coughlin
Coughlin (pronounced COG-lin) is not exactly treading water, not dog paddling through life. From the time she first hit the water as a 10-month-old baby in her parents Vallejo pool, first entered swim meets at the tender age of six, and first won state and national races at 13, Coughlin has been destined to swim. This past year, the world took notice as the 19-year-old repeatedly redefined the physical limits of just how fast a woman swimmer can torpedo through the water. 3
Natalie Coughlin is the first woman to break the one-minute barrier in the 100-meter backstroke, an 11-time U.S. national champion, and the only female swimmer other than Dara Torres to win five medals at a single Olympiad. For most of the last seven years, she has been the best female backstroker in the world. 2
