What do you think of total immersion?

Last time I raced 1998 after not racing since I retired from Marathon swimming 25 years ago, although I have kept up on technique and have been teaching others to swim. I spent 3 years in Yellowknife NWT no pool and 5 years working on an Indian reserve working with teens in crisis, no pool in the town. Only swimming on holidays. If you need a data base to create times to prove yourself, I don't need it. I know what I can do and have done. I even tried to get results from all of my races but the data base does not exist. Not many computers around when I raced. But I will be glad to swim against any body. If you ever get a chance ask Graham what I did to John Hendricks at the 54 Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, he was there. In 52 sick did not make the team. Started training in Feb 1955 after a long layoff 1955 April 16th Pan Am Games I came second was sun burnt and blood was gushing from my shoulders. I beat Scholes a few weeks later, can't find the results in a data base the race was in Cayuhoga Falls Ohio. At the 56 Olympics sick and had a problem with the turn 17th qualifier. Raced those same guys in the fina meet cannot find the data base on the race the result for me was good. I swam for North America in that meet. The Hungarian water polo Olympic championship team came to Canada. We beat them an amazing score 26 for our team 25 for the Hungarian team. My brother Bob scored the winning goal. 57 and 58 no racing til 1958 Commonwealth games, broke my ankle had it tapped did not qualify for the final. After that I played water polo through those years. Did not train for swimming just waterpolo but entered races of 100 meters or yards fly and free. I raced against all kinds of world record holders and won and lost agaist them. No data base to check. Beat guys like Carl Wooley, *** Hanley, McIntyre. Even raced against Jeff Farrell. Started Marathon swimming and it was not necessarily to be the World Champion I needed money for my large family, and I made as much as the world Champion did. I ran swimming schools also from 1964 until 1978 when I moved to western Canada. I now teach all over but only give private clinics . We leave for Mexico swim clinics soon. I am opening an Infinite pool 10.5' x 20.5' next to a six rink skating facility, the pool is a swim in place pool. It will open in time for when I get back from Mexico. I have a 2 week clinic in Belgium in August. Knock me all you want. I love it since you have been making noise I have booked 3 $2000 private clinics.
