I'm back at school now and it feels so much better swimming at my schools pool than at my local Y becasuse my school pool has a 13 feet deep end. the Y is shallow, its 3 feet on one end.
Deep water is so much better than shallow water.
Skip,
You are right, of course, I pulled the 10 year thing out of my butt. I think that was the first time a masters swimmer (Robert Peel) broke 19 seconds?
The Long Beach NCAAs were held at Belmont Plaza Olympic swim Stadium, built for the 1968 USA Trials. It has immense gutters which probably helped with the fast times. In that same meet, Jack Tingley also set an American record in the 1650, going 15:19.xxx (back in the days when three decimal points counted).
