Hi Everyone,
I'm writing an article about swimmers and career success, and I'm wondering what you all have to say on the topic.
Do you think swimmers achieve greater career success than other types of athletes?
If so, why?
I'm going to run a poll, but I also welcome responses here in this forum or privately.
Thanks in advance for your responses,

OK, I would say that those who exercise regularly are generally more successful in careers. But that makes for an interesting question. Does the exercising make someone more successful? Or does exercising tend to draw a certain type of person (the "go-getter")? I suspect that the exercising tends to draw interest from that type of person.
As for swimming vs. other forms of exercise - say running or weight lifting - I'm not sure that swimmers have an advantage (or disadvantage).
I do know one thing, swimmers are far better looking than other athletes!:D
I have no scientific evidence to back any of this up, but that has never stopped me from spouting off in the past.
