Simple. Forget what you are. What do you want to be? I notice there's been a lot of dissing of sprinters here, and I might join in, but ...
If you could be any kind of swimmer, what would you want to be and why? I'm only posting five options; vote for one. This is a nice daydream, but you have to pick your heart's desire and explain below.
I'm voting stoker again. Ha, ha. Sprinter would actually be my second to last pick after middle distance. I have always admired distance studs in any sport. I religiously watch the Tour de France. My son helps me chart the progress of American marathoners. I think ultrarunning sounds cool. I love to watch triathlons.
But if I really can only pick one, I'd pick stroker. I love the variety that comes with being a stroker/IM-er. It would be great to be awesome at everything, without that gaping breaststroke/distance hole. The 400 IM gold medal winner is the king of swimming. Although I do think it's just that OW is now an Olympic event.
