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 ????

Does anyone remember the great Dutch butterflier, Ada Kok? I think they called her "the gentle giant"--she won gold in '68. She was so powerful. I also admired Pokey Watson, a great backstroker in '68 Olympics, Kaye Hall, Ellie Daniel and John Naber and Mark Spitz.
If I were a kid today, I think I would admire Misty Hyman, she has a lot of personality. And Lenny Krayzelburg--he's just awesome.
