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.

At the risk of repeating what's already been said, Bill has done an excellent job as editor in representing USMS and its membership,in all their diversity. USMS is organization whose members have a wide variety of goals and SWIM has to reflect that. SWIM has had plenty of material in past issues devoted to competition. No one can expect that every article in every issue will be written for him.
