How many here are sprinters and how many long distance swimmers?

I just wanted to have an idea about the number of sprinters compared to the number of long distance swimmers here..
1: sprinter
2: long distance swimmer

Lefty,
You're absolutely right about Tom being a hardcore distance guy. The fact of the matter is that he happened to have split his hundreds on the five hundred and thousand much faster than many people can go all out for the same lengths. Most any 47+ hundred swimmer would crash and burn if they had to keep that pace up for another sixteen laps.
So the real question is/was....can super humans like Tom sprint? Absolutely. But the statistics may show that most distance people don't have the explosive sprinting ability as you've mentioned.
And P.S.... I think you're right on about having a sprinter in the lifeguard tower. But I am sure there are many who would argue this point to the contrary.:cool:
