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
Nixon removed the White House pool to install something else (putting green?)
Many years ago I had the opportunity to attend a White House daily press briefing (I dont want to say how long ago it was, but it was the day the Chinese Ping Pong team visited the White House). As I recall, the area where the press corp had there cubicles, was the area of the swimming pool. The swimming pool was not filled in, it was just covered up and a floor laid over the pool.
