Rumor has it that some teams were recruiting outside there LMSC for swimmers at nationals. What do you think of this.

    There have been some good ideas floated within this discussion; I think Paul is right to emphasize some of the tie-in possibilities, which, just as real estate agents stress "location, location, location", this would seem to revolve around "contacts, contacts, contacts" & the need to 'exploit' those contacts in a partner-ly way. It would seem that some of our older & accomplished swimmers would be demographically attractive to the burgeoning industry catering to us over 50 types who worry about health, vitality & quality of life. I joked about Viagra, but you see the connection. Perhaps the will to coordinate this on a national level might arise from the hiring of a professional executive as described by Wayne in your convention thread. Someone who might already have a few contacts & able to approach companies on a national level. Paul, the Geek chooses to inject a little humour (I try to do that as well, I just try to mix it in with a few serious ideas as well) if it truly annoys you just ignore it. Perhaps, if you thought of John as a dedicated fire starter (hot thread topics) & Geek as the little fellow running around giving 'hotfoots' just to see what happens, it might help.
