Mark Spitz. Because he ''looks" normal (nothing agains Phelps and others, just my opinion), because of his record, because he became a poster boy and advanced swimming all over the world, because I believe he is around my age (1951), because in 1968 I actually saw a movie at my high school of him with underwater shots swimming in California, at his high school. Weissmuller, I am glad they got a good swimmer to do some of the Tarzan movies because in the late 50s that is what we had to ty and emulate. On this forum? How about George, who gets up early to answer any questions, has a history from way back and still swims. Besides, he doesn't offend any nationalities, as Canada only became partly independent in 1981 and is still part of the British Empire, with the Queen as head of state. Cheers, billy fanstone
