Love the story and interesting hearing about Sippy's (out of the water) present and past... always encouraging, engaging, and inspirational. Pound for pound, no doubt one of the best sprinters on the planet. Additionally, always a great thing when a masters swimmer gets some well deserved attention. Keep up the great work.
Pound for pound is right. His stature does not exactly give any advantage when it comes to some of the top sprinters.
What is also quite impressive, is that he is one of the few masters swimmers who can swim his age in the 100 yard free. 46 and :46. ...That's a rather stand out achievement for the 45-49 age group - and a very unique club to belong to!
...regarding the story, everyone has their setbacks, and we all react differently to disappointments. How he eventually rebounded from a personal upset is what makes the new chapter in his life all the more interesting - and uplifting.
