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 ????

I read about her time at the Olympics in 1968 in the 200 meter butterfly at 2:24.7. This is a very good time ,especially in the late 1960's. Lenny is ok. At the last olympics, the media talk about his immirgrant background and the fact that he became an american citizen. This is a course a theme of a lot of younger swimmers. Gaby Rose, half-American and half-Brizalizan and Mike Cavic, who swims for Yugoslavia. So Lenny isn't the only swimmer now with different nationality backgrounds and a decision to be made about which country do you swim for.
