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,
Bill

I personally did not like to work for someone who tells me what to do. I did my own thing and I am pretty succesful. I owned and operated a swim school, and made some good bucks. When I moved to western Canada my wife and I worked with children in crisis, we loved our work. Even though I am 71 now we still work about six months with kids. But in the winter I go to Mexico and run swim clinics for some begginers, some master swimmers, and some college swimmers. It is great fun and not only that I get fit myself and still earn a few bucks.
Am I more succesful than any one else, I don't think so but I love my life as it is, my wife and I are still together after 47 years, now that is what I call succesful... in this day and age.
