When you were a kid, who was the person(s) you looked up to as the swimmer you wished you were. Or, who do you see as an older person you respect, swimmingly, right now?
I have a couple: Bill Yorzyck, Bob Proebsting, Wally Dobler.
Before I was a flyer, I can remember poring over swim magazines and loving to read about Lance Larson, Murray Rose, George Breen........
You got any ????

That's nice that she help you with being taller than normal. I was one of those swimmers near normal height and was more stocky than average. Now I'm real stocky but don't look my weight which I will not tell. Like I stated before swimmers near normal height have trouble competiting against taller ones. Diana Munz is the only swimmer around 5'4". Misty Hyman is only 5'6" which is slightly above average. Most swimmers are near the Lindsey Benko height over 6'0 feet tall. So us short and normal size height, women and men have few top swimmers near our size to look up to.
