Swimming World top 6 male and females masters for 2006 to be named in April issue.

I don't know, but if Rich Abrahams isn't one of them I'm boycotting Swimming World! OK, actually I don't subscribe now, but I'll be disappointed :) I couldn't possibly agree any more with a statement than this one Kirk! I also agree with Fort about Jim McConica and Carrie about Dennis Baker and Paul Smith. Its gets difficult for me after that though. I think one of the most amazing USMS records held by a man over the age of 40 is Paul Carter's 100 LCM fly record at 56.42. First of all it is over a second faster than the 100 LCM World record for the 40-44 agegroup, its within 4 tenths of a second from the 100 fly LCM record for the 35 - 39 year old agegroup ...and within 2 tenths of a second from the record in the 30 - 34 year old age group. Moreover, if you use the following time conversion utility: www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../conversions.asp You will see that a 56.42 in LCM converts to a 48.97 in SCY!! (using this utility only of course).....Thats totally amazing. It would be great to see if that record gets toppled anytime in the near future? ...cough...Paul Smith..cough...uhumm...just clearing my throat But Having one or two super incredible records is not what this is actually about IMO (I'm Not saying that Paul Carter only has one or two...just saying in general). Maybe Rich Seager should be on the list? and maybe some of the others mentioned already....its a pretty tough call thats for sure!!....and thats a great testiment IMO to the overall high quality of U.S. Master's Swimming at the highest levels!! Oh Yaeh I almost forgot,...there's Muppet to consider too....So Am I also under consideration too then Muppet? LOL!:rofl: Newmastersswimmer
