What Michael Phelps did at the 2008 Olympics was amazing.  Not only has he now out-medaled any Olympian in history, but he managed to make swimming--a sport known for long, grueling meets in humid aquatics centers that reek of chlorine--popular.

But Phelps isn't the only swimmer to medal at these summer Olympics.  Here is a look at what the rest of the US swimmers accomplished in Beijing.

Dara Torres: OK, you've probably heard about Torres, the 41-year-old wonder-woman who swam at her fifth Olympics this year.  Torres, a graduate of the University of Florida, won three silver medals in 2008 for the 50m freestyle, the 4 x 100m freestyle relay, and the 4 x 100 medley relay.

Aaron Peirsol:  Peirsol, formerly a swimmer for the University of Texas, won a repeat gold medal in the 100m backstroke (he also won gold in this event in Athens) in world record time.  He also won a gold for the 4 x 100m medley relay and a silver in the 200m backstroke.

Natalie Coughlin: At the Beijing Olympics, Coughlin, a UC Berkeley alum, became the first American female swimmer to win six medals in a single Olympics.  She won three bronze (in the 200m individual medley, the 100m freestyle, and the 4 x 200m freestyle relay), two silver (in the 4 x 100 medley and freestyle relays), and a gold in the 100m backstroke, becoming the first woman to win repeat golds in that event (which she also won in Athens).

Jason Lezak: Lezak took a bronze in the 100m freestyle and a gold in the 4 x 100m medley relay.  If you're wondering why his name sounds familiar, it is because Lezak, who once swam for UC Santa Barbara, was the man who touched out Frenchman Alain Bernard in the dramatic 4 x 100m freestyle relay after Bernard was quoted as saying that he came to Beijing to "smash" the Americans.  Needless to say, Lezak took a gold in that event as well.

Rebecca Soni: Soni, a senior at the University of Southern California, won silver in the 100m breaststroke and 4 x 100m medley relay as well as a gold in the 200m breaststroke in world record time.

Cullen Jones: Once a swimmer for North Carolina State University, Jones is only the second African-American to ever swim on the US team at the Olympics.  He was a member of the gold medal winning 4 x 100m freestyle relay team.

Ryan Lochte: Perhaps the man most overshadowed by Phelps, Lochte won bronze in the 200m and 400m individual medleys (behind Phelps and Laszlo Cseh of Hungary) and gold in the 4 x 200m freestyle relay and the 200m backstroke, in which the University of Florida alum set a new world record.
