Swimming is a sport that swimmer improves their own time or swims their event with a "legal" tech- nique, it is self-rewarding.

The Philadelphia Phillies traded the two- time All-Star right fielder to the San Fran- cisco Giants for three players on Tuesday. It's the second time in two years Pence went from last place to first place right before the non-waiver trade deadline. The Phillies got outfielder Nate Schier- holtz, minor league catcher Tommy Joseph and minor league right-handed pitcher Seth Rosin. ''Thank you Philadel- phia for all your support and passion. Excited to see what awaits me in San Francis- co!'' Pence wrote on Twit- ter. Earlier, the cost-cutting Phillies sent two-time All- Star center fielder Shane Victorino to Los Angeles for two pitchers. chance at the postseason. ''I don't think anyone really anticipated the season that's gone on,'' Pence told reporters in Washington after the trade. ''It was the perfect storm of injuries and things didn't go right for us, so that's the way the business of the game is and you have to understand that. ''Everything is understood. The Phillies are going in a different direction. We had a great run at it. Now I'm going a different way.'' injured Pablo Sandoval in the lineup and presumably bat fifth behind Melky Cabrera and Buster Posey. Sandoval was placed on the disabled list last weekend with a hamstring strain. Pence will help replace the Pence is batting .271 with 17 homers and 59 RBIs this season. He fills a major need for the Giants, giving them a right-handed hitter with power. Hunter Pence Philadelphia acquired Pence from Hous- ton on July 29 last year for the same reason San Francisco wanted him. The Phillies were desperate for a right-handed power hit- ter to bat fifth behind Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. Pence fit the description perfectly. He batted .324 with 11 homers and 35 RBIs in only 54 games for Philadelphia. The Phillies won a franchise-record 102 games and captured their fifth straight NL East title, but lost to St. Louis in the NLDS. Now they rebuild and Pence gets another and 119 RBIs in 503 games over parts of six seasons in San Francisco. Schierholtz was 2 for 12 in the 2010 postseason when the Giants upset the Phillies in the NLCS and beat Texas in the World Series. Joseph was San Francisco's No. 2 ranked prospect by Baseball America. He's hitting .260 with eight homers and 38 RBIs in 80 games for Double-A Richmond. Rosin was 2-1 with 10 saves and a 4.31 ERA in 34 games (five starts) for Single-A San Jose. Pence is making $10.4 million this sea- son and stands to get a raise in arbitration next year. In relay win, Phelps sets Olympic bar with 19 medals most events (from 50 yards/meters to 100 yards/meters) from a 12 year old to a 13 year old. Hunter Wilhite finished the 100 freestyle by shav- ing 13 seconds to earn a personal record and getting a time under two minutes for the first time. Tanner Wilhite finished the 50 freestyle, shaving 11 seconds to earn a personal record and getting a time under 50 seconds for the first time.

Berens. Samantha Beeman fin- ished third in the 9-10 year- old 50-meter backstroke after improving in the event by 13 seconds. Beeman also shaved 10 seconds off the 100-meter breaststroke. Jaden Humphrey created a technique to swim the but- terfly legally last weekend. This weekend Humphrey was able to swim the longer breaststroke event for eight and under boys using proper form and finishing with his personal best time. Kaylee Humphrey was a consistent swimmer with fourth-place finishes in all eight events against 25 com- peting 9-10 year old girls. She earned fourth overall. Caitlyn Igarta has become comfortable swim- ming the 400-meter freestyle, the longest dis- tance used in a meet. She improved that time by five seconds and finished sixth in her age group. Igarta set per- sonal records in three of the five events available Friday and Saturday. Micah Jackson swam his personal best in all of his Hailey Reineman earned personal records in the 200 freestyle (first place) and 400 freestyle (fourth place).

Before the race, they all huddled together, fully aware of their moment in history. ''I thanked those guys for helping me get to this moment,'' Phelps said. ''I told those guys I wanted a big lead. I was like, 'You better give me a big lead going into the last lap,' and they gave it to me. I just wanted to hold on. I thanked them for being able to allow me to have this moment.'' Berens handed off a lead of nearly 4 seconds to Phelps, who lingered a bit on the blocks, knowing the only way he could blow this one was to get disqualified. Then he set off on what amounted to four victory laps of the pool — down and back, then down and back again, the roar in the Olympic Aquatics Centre getting louder as he approached the finish. Lochte stood on the deck, waving his arms. Dwyer and Berens pumped their fists.
