Dara Torres-Amazing

I don't know why so many people think that Dara has kept her self in great condition to benefit her swimming during these off years. Any top level coach will tell you, there is VERY little substitute for practicing swimming fast other than working out in the pool and SWIMMING FAST. She did not swim hard for years on end during her breaks which total around 13 years. I don't know about this. If she is so innately talented, maybe she's rusty at first, but snaps back quickly? Much like ImSpoiled, I took 24 years off from swimming during which I did not get in a pool at all. After a year or so, I was doing pretty well in the sprint distances. And I'm just a regular old masters swimmer who stopped age group swimming at 19, not a Dara type by any stretch of the imagination. So imagine what she can do. What is that flax seed oil supposed to do exactly? I know it's good for dry eye, but what else? I agree with aul with the GHJ comparison. The 50 is one thing, but the 100 is another ...
