When considering the overall speed of swimmers in the past and present it seems that although times are still dropping for swim events there is a "dropping off"graphically of time improvement..now do you think this could mean that there will be an ultimate saturated speed time that will never get beat?i think that unless we evolve say webbed feet or the like then this is possible....thoughts?

Yeah, you need a generous appication of IBS for those special areas. Helps you glide along.

I am very much interested in your shampoo and would like to purchase some off of you.
I would say that at some point in time we will come to a stopping point, I just have no idea where that point may be. I would say that the times to drop the most any time soon will be the 400 IM and other long events. I know from personal experience that's where my best times have come from.
I wonder in part if this will be dependant on how big people will get. I think that kids now are much bigger people than when I was a kid. And I think my generation is bigger than my grandparents. I am not talking fat, I am talking tall and strong. When I go to my son's HS, at 5-4, girls and boys tower over me. These kids are not fat, but they are not the skinny kids that I went to HS with. If they are in athletics, they have usually been working out from a young age and are much more muscler than my generation was.
So over time, will people develop to be bigger and stronger, and therefore the times will slowly continue to drop?
I am so confused. I have to use the early bloomin shampoo, but am a late bloomer so I KNOW it won't be as effective. So sad..........am not, am too, am not, amtoo
Are you early bloomers going to Indy?
If so, I'm going to sneak into the Men's locker room and snag some of "that" shampoo before my race :) And I can think of the perfect spokesperson to pitch that shampoo...
P.S. My husband, who started swimming competitively in high school at age 15, wants to know if he's an early late bloomer or a late early bloomer? Any help would be appreciated. Also, I just wanted to point out that my articles "a" and "an" are used correctly:p
