Faking a swim

I recently read an article or comment on SwimSwam where someone mentioned the term 'faking a swim'. As I understand it, it usually implies a swimmer swims and trains for events X and Y well but, due to previous training history, natural ability, or effects from training for events X & Y they can put up a respectable time in event Z. I've heard it before but would be interested in hearing others thoughts on what qualifies as faking a swim, what enables a swimmer to do so etc... Not looking for insight on how to personally accomplish one.

  • as she never swam much *** at practice but came from a pretty tough club in Kansas where I'm sure there was a lot of IM and stroke work. well back in the day there was only 2 clubs in kansas that this could be - wichita swim club and kc blazers. for a short period of time (we shall call it the john weckler years) wsc won it all. otherwise, pete malone and his kc blazers dominated and pete put quite a few people on the olympic teams. if i was gonna bet ice cream, it would be she swam for kc blazers and yes would have a fantastic background.
