Cynthia - good memory and correct I did swim in the Cal Novice league for a couple years.
Since this thread is going so good, why waste it with a brand new thread, (We may all ready have a captivated audience so why reinvent the wheel), with a question loosely linked to this. As you age and your body changes do you think your weak swim events maybe become your stronger and vice versa. From my own experience in early on I was an okay backstroker and distance freestyler, not a good sprinter and horrible breastroker. My first year in college a somewhat mediocre distance swimmer, a mediocre breastroker and a terrible backstroker (my *** was as fast as my back). Second year of college after 1 season of water polo, still a mediocre distance swimmer and IM er, but a better sprinter, still a better breastroker than backstroker. Now years later in masters still an okay sprinter my backstroke has improved greatly from college and breastroke has remained about the same (please note my swim ability is just my opinion, rather than grading on a scale of 1 to 10 or whatever). Thoughts?
