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, what about our challenge? Your fault? Ducking me?
How bout justifying your attack on SWIM and overweights? I'm waiting eagerly for that explanation, as what you said earlier is nonsensical.
MSGrubb was right on. Absolutely right on.
And Ion, just to satisfy you, top ten (not %) in various years in three strokes. With some years on you. (Bet that'll keep ya busy!)
And, best of all, I'm not obsessed. I have a life outside the pool (which I've seen very little of this year). Hell, my kids don't even know what an individual sport is.
You're WAY out there . . . further than I thought after seeing your latest.
