Nationals Kudos

thank you for bringing this to light.  This is my first year competing Nationals, and I had a blast.  Even though I did not swim against this "female" this makes me very angry.  So unfair to have to compete against someone that is naturally stronger than us women.  Until this discussion was started I really did not think much about it.  While I did see this athlete I really did not think much about it.  My brain had a very hard time processing when I saw armpit hair with a full suit and a sundress!!  For those of us that put in the hours of practice and sacrifice of time to have someone come and dominate not just 1 stroke, but everything they swim is not right.
