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.

Again, I'm in no way discouting your opinions, but you sound like Oprah--just think in a positive manner and good things will happen.
Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment. I really admire Oprah for what she is doing with her life.
Look, the joy of reaching a personal goal comes from a place of abundance, and that's why it feels so good. Anyone can have that feeling, and that's the subtle greatness behind sport.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not positive all the time. It's just that if I'm going to post my inner thoughts on a public forum I'd rather record what is good in me. Anyone can complain, and anyone can point out what is wrong with life. Problems have always been around, but a real winner brings solutions to the table.
