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

And I'm not just talking about money. Success is everywhere and you probably don't have to look very far!
I wish that I had read this before I posted. On Saturday night, I was at a cocktail party with some people I've known between 30 to 25 years. One of the guys I was with I'm a very good friend. We marvelled at how different we were and how much we had experienced in the past 25 years. Yet it truly seemed that many peole had been doing the same thing since we were young. It made me really look at what I define as success. Certainly, it isn't what most peole would consider a good life.
