OK just read that Katie Hoff has gone professional. Not that this has any bearing on anything but I am bit bummed.
I really was hoping that she would break Pablo’s NCAA records for most wins in college. There is a part of me that
really wants to have swimmers be amateurs, but that is quickly blasted out of the water with all the DUAH! Why
wouldn’t an oober athlete get millions of dollars for their athletic talents --that is years overdue. Does any one think
swimmers will get to be “divas” or “divos” like some professional athletes?

Paul- it is the same thing as with USMS; if an American joins our Masters Swimming Canada, then they can hold 'our' records. Yes, the beer drinking is an 'open' division, often characterised by American competitors being overwhelmed by our brew, and vigorously 'giving back' to the sport.
Geek, we have a tiny army, true- but its not how big it is, its how you use it-
by the way, our Vancouver Fire Dept Emergency Rescue Dept made it to New Orleans well before your regular army.
