IThe forums have been a bit drab since our friend was kicked off. We need to spice things up. Here are some possible topics:
What should US swimming do more to promote the sport?
Should the qualifying times for nationals (masters) be lowered to make the meet smaller and more conducive to fast swimming?
400 IM - the true measure of swimming ability?
Has Bush exaggerated the threat of terrorism so that he can push his social agenda in the name of national security?
My answers: Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes
Hey!! we already had a swimming president, Ronald Reagan. He swam for Eureka College. And while he never, at least that I know of, swam Masters, he is part of our swimming family. There is an interesting quote from Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan, by Edmund Morris that seems appropriate here:
”Often I have marveled at Reagan's cool, unhurried progress through crises of politics and personnel, and thought to myself, He sees the world as a swimmer sees it.”
