So I just saw a poll at the US Swimming web site that asked: In the last twenty years, who do you think has changed more in the sport of swimming? The choices were swimmers or coaches. Thought it would be a good thread to talk about. Should we also throw in swimming equipment for good measure? Talk amongst yourselves...

    Well, I agree with Paul on that one. On the other hand, swimmers can become top swimmers at younger ages than track and field men or women. Not too many 19 year olds in track and field or no 15 year olds. So, a women swmmer like Jenny Thompson can be at the top of the sport from age 14 to 31.
