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.

After considering c j's entire last post, I think that c j is rambling on tangent issues (like feeling that I should welcome newcomers to fitness, not knowing me personally on this matter because I do welcome them more than themselves they do it for themselves), and after re-reading the Sept./Oct. 2003 Swim magazine, I stick to it being a waste.
.) 'Making Masters Fun: Is Your Pool FUNKY?':
is a waste;
.) 'Goal-Setting':
how much more banal and generic can you get?;
.) "...I just love the pursuit of doing something right,..." in page 21:
who doesn't?
and
since when has this slogan been the profound recipe of any achievement in line with my achievements I am talking about?;
.) not one analysis in Swim magazine of a high achiever's ethics.
When people in this thread mention that when unhappy with the information in Swim magazine, I have the option to gather my information elsewhere, I point out to them that when posting frequently in this forum, I do display knowledge of information that I gather from other sources -information that Swim magazine doesn't afford-.
I am stating that to my achievements, the Swim magazine is mostly a waste, with its bureaucratic style of peachy superlatives and accolades to former age-group swimmers who keep in shape in USMS.
