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.
i think TSA has only ever had 1 fast guy (glenn t) and certainly this girl but she must have been way after i left kansas.
sunruh, did you grow up in Kansas? Where? I grew up in the KC area. Didn't swim as a kid but swam with the Blazers Masters for many years and got to see Pete Malone in action every evening on the pool deck (the kids swam right before we did). I thought the same thing when I read the post by Tetleysfam - that it had to be one of Pete's swimmers!
