Eh, the Swimnetowrk profiles *look* good but are full of technical fail. Ryan's career highlights are off and a lot of the other athletes' profiles have wrong birthdates (years) listed (ex, Matt Grevers wasn't born in '81). I'm hoping they were in a hurry to get the new site up and are going to fix it soon.

also, is his nickname really "the Lochtenator"? I've never heard him called that. It's Reezy (and not "Reezy Deezy" ugh)

Seems like they rushed to put up the site before it was ready.

I think Swim Stars originated "The Lochtenator" nickname awhile ago, before Melbourne (it made Ryan's Wiki, in any case). No idea who came up with "Reezy Deezy," though.

Never been a fan of change but I liked the old Swimnetwork. It wasn't quite so...flashy. And all the old links are broken now, pictures are missing from profiles; it's just a huge mess.

I've heard of the Lochtenator name, but it's not widely used. (And who added the "Deezy" to Reezy? o_o)
