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, money is money. Its hard if you are not in Tennis or Golf or Boxing. Our sister sport water polo has some pro- leagues in Europe. Actually, Amanda Beard wasn't doing too bad but not great she earn about a year a go around 75,000. Granted, a lot of master swimmers are in professionals where they make a 100,000 a year, so swimmers making between 75,000 to 200,000 isn't that appealing to people that can entered professionals at 6 figures. Only Michael has made the million mark a year.
