Aaron Peirsol Hosts Grassroots Training Clinics for Beijing

World Champion and world record-holder in the 200-meter backstroke, Aaron
Peirsol, travels to Beijing, China this week to share his enthusiasm and
extensive knowledge of the sport of swimming with young athletes.

Peirsol, on a Nike-sponsored trip, will host a day-long training clinic for 7
to 9-year old swimmers. The week-long trip will include motivational speaking
opportunities, autograph sessions, a press conference and the youth
clinic.

A 21-year-old Irvine, California native, Peirsol is a 3-time
Olympic gold medalist in both the 100-meter and 200-meter backstroke events and
the 4x100-meter relay. He has three world championship gold medals, has been a
world record holder for the past two years, and was named the 2005 USA Swimming
Athlete of the Year.

The charismatic backstroker joins Nike in an effort
to assist Chinese
athletes and coaches in improving performances in
international competition by interacting with the children of Beijing. Peirsol
hopes to pique their interest in swimming and inspire them to set and reach
their goals in and out of the water.

The trip also provides Peirsol with
a unique opportunity to visit Beijing and begin to experience the Chinese
culture in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games.
