What he was "on" was an unprecedented distance program growing up swimming for Sherm Shavor at Arden Hills (I showed up for one of their practices over Xmas in 1978; 10 x 500 swim, 10 x 500 pull and I lasted about 10 minutes), then a regime at Cal that over Xmas during those days include 3 x 10,000 meter workouts per day.
Paid off pretty well for him......think he a was 7th in the 1500 at the 84' Trials (and just broke a couple of USMS 45-49 records last May).
Also paid off well for Jeff Float who came out of the same program and was on the legendary 800 free relay that was the upset winner overt Germany in 84'......one of the best races of all times!
Guys a friggin animal!
Rich.......I think Kirk would eat him alive right now, from what I hear Bobby hasn't swam much since he retired!
