In addition, Olympic gold medalist swimmer Natalie Coughlin revealed Tuesday on her Twitter page that she has been paired with Alec Mazo.

"So I got partnered with Alec!!! So good because we both went to Cal Berkeley and studied Psychology at the same time. Go Bears!" posted Coughlin. "Practice is going well although it's a lot harder than I thought!!! I didn't know Alec when we went to Cal (even though we probably shared classes!)."
