Looze Using Unique Technique to Build Stronger, Better Swimmers
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Ray Looze is ready to pump you up.
Actually, he's ready to pump up his Indiana swim teams, and, no, this isn't some motivational ploy involving dramatic speeches, feel-the-beat music and Arnold Schwarzenegger videos.
Looze has tapped into the stronger-athlete-is-a-better-athlete territory once dominated by football coaches, and that means pumping iron.
Except, in this case, it's all about pulleys.
Yes, pulleys.
The key -- they are attached to weights and then hooked up to swimmers.
"We treat pulleys like the weight room," Looze says. "It's like weight lifting."
