I imagine that many on this Board are like me in that they swam in intensely competitive programs as youngsters, got burned out and quit swimming, maybe played other sports, and finally came back to swimming at a later stage of your life.
So, if the above description fits you, what sports did you do in the intervening years before you made it back to the pool?
The mention of the term "side out" in another thread reminded me that I played competitive volleyball for 19 years. Before that I also competed in judo, eventually ran a marathon, and finally coached volleyball, wrestling and even little league.
After all of that, and all of the injuries that went with it, I am glad to be back in the pool. :cool:

I have to say that if it wasn't for all those years of swimming, I wouldn't be able to look about much thinner than I am. Plus, I wouldn't need to go on MTV to get calf implants. Now, I swim with the local masters program and compete again.
Maybe I misread this post. Did you or did you not go on MTV for the calf implants?
