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.

Regarding the last issue of Swim magazine, the Sept./Oct. 2003 issue, I asked myself once again:
is there anything for my competitiveness in it?
Because usually there isn't much.
And this time, true to the Swim magazine's tradition, after going over it twice, there is nothing again:
.) to me overweight people are inflicting body self-mutilation upon themselves;
.) the article about Mike Collins is all made of peachy superlatives, and nothing of profound information.
I am thinking:
.) Bill Volckening is in this issue so often, and I saw that the guy has no integrity when promising in the summer of 2002 to give me a voice in an article in Swim magazine, then not to hear about it ever since, like if it never happened;
.) who sees me breaking my word by lacking integrity in what I promise?
