SCM Top Ten

Wow, you people ROCK!! For Donna and Allison: don't forget: some age groups are a lot more rough than others!! And out of curiosity, what was your 1500 time? I don't have the luxury of being able to compete in pools anymore, but I do follow the stats. With the exception of Laura Val, I'd pretty much be in the top 3 on all distances in free and backstroke (55-59 age group). But we all know she is now a machine, a very nice machine as I knew her for years when she swam for Los Altos, but still a machine. When she swam, her turnover rate was just a blur with extremely high elbows, more than others. And you fellows with 0% body fat, just think how much more fast you would swim in saltwater than chlorine. I don't think I would want 0 to even 4% body fat, I wouldn't be able to sit down on a picnic bench for very long without a pillow for my bones. Besides, doesn't fat float? Donna
