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...

  • There are actually quite a few "circuits" the primary one being the Fina World Cup races (check out www.fina.org/swimming), which also includes open water races. The most recent "money meet" here in the US was the Kerr McGee elite meet (www.kmsc.org). At least one masters swimmer was in attendence as well (Karlyn). The problem isn't that we don't have money, pro's or circuits, it's that we can;t get interest from the media to cover it. The exception being the Indy meet this fall.
