Swimming
In 1980, he won a national title in the same event and set a new world record. He also qualified for the 1980 Summer Olympics in the 100-meter Breaststroke and 200-meter Individual Medley (setting a national record in the latter), but could not compete because of the United States-led boycott over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.[3] The same year, Swimming World Magazine named him the American Swimmer of the Year.[4]
Professional life
Barrett enrolled in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and swam for coach Ron Ballatore's UCLA Bruins swimming and diving team in NCAA competition from 1980 to 1982.
