I like the article in swim Magazine about Rita Egan and Sylvia powell. These women are not your typical slim young swimmers that are elite swimmers but like the rest of us ordinary. Actually, given my previous background in swimming I'm also won of these average jills. As a youth I swam the 100 meter *** at 1:30 and as a 46 at 1:43.31. So, many of us do it for enjoyment and some exercise knowing that we will never be at the top of the pack. I think we should have more of these stories?. And Ion believe me you are not that bad. You did a 2:31 200 meter freestyle. I recently swam a 3:15. So don't feel bad and their is alot more competition in the men than in the women in 45 to 49. Not saying that their are not good swimmers in the women.

Ion,
Did it ever occur to you that maybe the article was dropped because of someone above Bill on the magazine staff - like the CEO, Senior Editor, Editor in Chief or Publisher or any number of reasons that Bill did not have specific control over. Instead of finding out, you would rather attack him personally and discredit his character, that truely shows bad form. if you wish the last word, post away, I will not waste any more time responding to your character assasination of Bill - and that's a promise.
