Anyone else find it a bit odd that the cover of the May/June issue shows "swimmers" wearing flotation vests?

  • Originally posted by laineybug Interesting thoughts Lindsey but perhaps swimmers would earn green, yellow, red, brown, black suits... Why does proficiency have be tied to time? That is a time/speed/racing mind set. Lainey What would you propose? Swimming is a sport about time, the same as all other competitive sports - running, cycling, etc. Do you propose it be judged on form like, say, figure skating or gymnastics? You can't take time out of swimming.
