Child of Privilege
Torres' physique is widely noted as one advantage she has over other swimmers. Her other advantage is money. Torres grew up in Beverly Hills, has lucrative sponsorship and modeling contracts, and is able to spend $100,000 a year or more on the various facets of training. "Torres’s retinue includes a head coach, a sprint coach, a strength coach, two stretchers, two masseuses, a chiropractor and a nanny," the New York Times reports.The New York Times: A Swimmer of a Certain Age (June 29, 2008)-
