Well, Bray is like open water swimmer Suzanne Heim-Bowen who can swim a 800 meter freestyle like Debbie Meyer did in 1968. Most master swimmers can't do the yardage these people do because they took 20 years or so breaks and the body has a harder time doing the yardage you did as a teenager in your 40's. As for Ion, he can go on and on about ex-college all americans and A and B age group swimmers beating him in freestyle. We all have different abilities and as a teenager Shirley Bashasoff swim even the 100 meter breaststoke 9 seconds faster than me and she was a freestyler. And breaststoke was usually my best event.
