No .. not that!!:laugh2:
My wife is originally from the Philippines, and is not very tall. About 5 foot. She currently weighs a bit over 150. She's decided to loose some pounds, lose some inches, and get in better shape. She learned to swim a long time ago, but nothing competitive.
She's 38 now, and believes that she's too old to even think about competing. She's learning to swim better, and has been reading and watching some of the TI style instructional pieces. She's steadily improving, but has a way to go.
She's actually a pretty good *** stroker, but so far has refused my attempts to time her.
She's convinced she's too short to be competitive ... thus my question!! Is that a problem?
If not, I'll continue to try to motivate her to consider it someday. She's a very competitive person by her nature ... except that she only likes to WIN ... not come in second!! (1st in her high school, 1st in college , she passed the CPA exam on her 1st attempt, etc. She's now an AVP at a big bank in Seattle and manages the accounting of their investment portfolio. She's going after her CFA right now as well.)
Needless to say, I consider myself a VERY lucky person to have her in my life!!
Thanks in advance!!
Cheers!!

Janet Evans is shorter than most swimmers - it never bothered her.
