Just wondering if any of you can recommend a competition suit (women's--breaststroke as primary stroke) that doesn't cost and arm and a leg. I am getting back into competition but am not training nearly enough to justify spending $100+ on a suit. Is there something in between the pricey Fastskins and the cheap old lycra suits that anyone else wears?
Hmm... Was Karen (Moe) Thornton coaching at Cal then? I thought she coached there for awhile then took some sort of administrative post later. We went to UCLA together in the 70's. She was, of course, an awesome swimmer. We were both lifeguards on campus. Needless to say, she never had any trouble making the cutoff for the periodic swim test. :).Yes, she was there until sometime in the early 90's. She was a great coach. Very good at educating her swimmers. Unfortunately, as I said in another post, I was a bit of a head-case at the time. I did well, but probably not as well as I could have if I had had things together mentally.
Karen was an assistant AD for quite a few years. Then she got fired a few years ago. She just won a settlement against the UC in a discrimination lawsuit. I knew one of the AD's at Cal a few years ago and he thought her case was very valid. Obviously, the court did as well.
