Saw this article today on The Race Club website. Since we have so many Texas Exes (GO HORNS beat SC!) on here, I was wondering what the opinions were on his comments.

At least good for some gripping discussion, Lord knows we need a good "spirited" discussion on here...

Well, I'm 48 and the in our Magazine it explains goggles didn't become common place until 1972. If you swam from about 1968 to 1972, the yardage was usually lower than today. I didn't go to a team that swam at least 4,000 yards in a practice until I was 14 years old. Most of the early swimming was on teams that practice between 1,500 to 3,000 yards.
