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.

You missed my point. Now you're obsessed with me and overlooking our issue at hand. I'm not goin' there with you, as there's no purpose.
Again, get OFF the swimming and address why you attack SWIM magazine and overweight people who try to better themselves by choosing to exercise.
Sorry Ion, as I've said before, I have long admired your spirit, knowledge and accomplishments. You've done well. You just need to tone it down a bit. You manage to offend several people about once a month. You could bring so much more to the table by sensing when to relax and respect the way others choose to live and think. You don't need to go out of your way to piss people off and take the value and enjoyment out of a message board intended to be constructive. It's OK to disagree without being disagreeable. Take a break from this obsession called swimming. It's healthy.
