Masters swim article in Best Life magazine

At the risk of sounding like a shameless self-promoter, which I suppose I am, there is an article in the Winter 2004 edition of Men's Health--Best Life magazine (the guy from CSI is on the cover) that I wrote about masters swimming. It's set at the Rutgers meet last summer and profiles a couple guys in my age group along with Bill Volckening, the editor of Swim and a super nice guy. If you have any friends who are sitting on the fence about possibly returning to the water, the people I profiled might help inspire them to check out our sport's considerable benefits. Best Life is a trial magazine of sorts that Rodale (publisher of Men's Health, Runners World, etc.) is currently selling only on the newsstand, four times a year, but is considering "launching" as a monthly. It goes against the current grain of men's magazines a la Maxim and its ilk, concentrating less on babes and beer than thoughtful analysis of subjects of interest to a somewhat older more reflective audience (40ish+) as opposed to youth oriented (18-34) demographics. I would sincerely appreciate anyone who has a bit of spare change grabbing a copy on the newstand near you! For what it's worth, I do think you might enjoy my article--and lots of the other pieces in this issue. Thanks.

    Jim, I think that in New Jersey you can find BEST LIFE in Borders book stores, CVS drug stores and WaWa convenience stores. It is a well written and thought provoking article. Although on one level it's about Masters Swimming and the competition and competitors at the Nationals at Rutgers, it's also about facing adversity and the choices people make in dealing with it. It will be interesting to see how it is received. Jack
