USA Swimming announced their list of the "30 most influential" people in swimming over the past 30 years.

OK, any list like this is going to be controversial, but one of the things I found somewhat bizarre is that of the 30 people honored only seven of them were active in the pool in the last 30 years. Also there are only 5 women. Lastly the list is a little heavy on USA Swimming executive types. Chuck Wielgus? Please...:shakeshead:
Anyone else have any comments? Who's missing that should be on the list?
Agree. Along those lines, Dave Berkhoff.
but why should he get credit for what the japanese guy (pretty sure it was Daichi Suzuki) was doing 4 years earlier in '84 games?
almost 50m underwater on the 100m back and 40m on the start of the 200m back.
