In swimming, how is it that one can excel in both sprints and long distance? Is it because the distance games in swimming are only "relatively" distance games but are not really distance games from a physiologic perspective?
In the world of tracks, for example, an athlete cannot excel at both sprints and distance. Even the athletes from the two areas look different - much leaner for the distance runners and muscular for the sprinters.
I am wondering about this because whether I should focus on either the sprint or the distance as I plan to participate in the masters meet, or whether I don't have to sacrifice one for the other.

The old fuddy duddy old ladies all swam head up breaststroke in Mexico, they did not want to get their hair wet. I taught all kinds of them how to glide.
George you're such a stud...why you need to come here and brag about your exploits? At least now we know who was paying for all the birdbath mageritas! ;)
