With the advent of Libby Lenton's 51.91 WR in the 100m free. I propose a swim off and battle of the sexes. Paul "the evil" Smith (45) representing Bobby Riggs vs. Libby Lenton (20) as Billie Jean King. My money rests on the female. John Smith

  • Come on, you can go to any Masters Meet and see younger women beating older men. Sometimes you see older women beating younger men. The egalitarian attitude is one of the great things about swimming. If I had my way colleges wouldn't have mens and womens teams just swim teams with mixed relays at every meet. I really want mixed relays at the Olympics and Worlds!
