I find this article hilarious, because last Saturday, on 11/24/12 I was swimmming and shared a lane with a guy wearing a UCLA swim brief. What was hilarious was that I out swam this guy. I continously lapped him, as well continuing to swim after he got out of the pool. I asked him if he was done with his workout and he stated yes. I semi-scolded him for only swimming a 2000 to my 3000. He shook his head, laughed, and walked away. He did one length of a Butterfly, and all the rest was Freestyle. I expect UCLA athletes to be in much better shape than I, especially in a pool.
Last evening the Masters Coach at CSULB invited me to join them in their Christmas/Holiday swim, 100 x 100 on 12/22/12. She thinks I can handle it. I am taking her up on the offer to see how well a non-coached swimmer can do against coached swimmers. This is gonna be fun.
