Two time Olympian Anthony Ervin is headed to SwimMAC, he announced on his Facebook page today.
The 2000 Olympic gold medalist in the 50 freestyle will now train in Charlotte with Coach David Marsh. He will join a SwimMAC Team Elite program that has seen significant success. The 34 year old will have the opportunity to train alongside fellow sprint Olympian Cullen Jones.
Ryan Lochte, Jimmy Feigen, Roy Burch, Tyler Clary, and Tim Phillips are other elite men who call the pro group in Charlotte home.
Ervin competed two weeks ago at the Arena Pro Swim Series in Mesa where he finished second in the 50 freestyle. He’ll be looking to make his third Olympic Games at Trials beginning June 26.
Ervin had most recently been training at University of Southern California, and had been at Cal before that.
Ervin’s announcement:
“This swimming odyssey sweeps me away again, moving forward as I journey homeward. My sojourn in Los Angeles has been rewarding with family, good friends, good teammates, and good training. I’m going to miss coaching the college kids, of being able to watch them develop into graduates, but I firmly believe they will be fine.
For now to Charlotte to rest under my parents’ roof, hang with my little brother (and recently proud papa), and train with the coach of coaches, David Marsh, and his crew.”
