Simple. You have absolute power to change any technique rules, start/finish rules, age up rules, sky is the limit as long as the rules pertain to swimming. What would you change and why?
Hi George:
I don't remember him wearing big ear plugs but he could have been. When I saw him swimming I was up far in the stands at IUPUI and couldn't see that well for that. I just remember him swimming the 200 Meter Fly with excellent form the whole race and everyone else struggling to finish. That was the last time I saw him swimming and I know he went through a lot of personal hardships after his son died in that tragic accident. I am not sure if his son ever swam mastes but I know that his friend Mani Sanguily got the memorial award instituted in his name for the best 400 IM done at the Short Course Nationals and its still awarded today. Maybe someday he will come back and we can see his excellent Fly. Not many people beat him after the 1956 Olympics and Mike Troy kind of took the mantle of the 200 Fly around 1959/1960.
