Always win, swim for fun!

On the recent broadcast of www.deckpass.com there was some interesting dialogue on age group swimming, Gary Hall Jr, and yes my hero, Jack LaLanne... Okay... not to digress, but... Sullivan's breakthrough was from technical improvement, not an increase in power output... just an observation. Jack LaLanne is my hero... If you swim for fun, you'll always be a winner! Keeping the focus on personal improvement is a great way to hold the "passion" without making comparisons to others. That concept of winning, only being the absolute freaky best, that concept is dysfunctional. If you are in the water regularly, you'll always be a winner; you can feel great about what you are doing. Swimming is a unique experience, and mastering the water is a joy.

    ABC it is the Olympic spirit. "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
