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.

, I don't think that the person that comes in seventh at the Olympics is a loser any more than I think the CEO of the seventh biggest company in the world or the seventh richest person in the world is a loser. I think that any system that produces a tiny tiny number of "winners" and huge masses of "losers" is dysfunctional.
Right, and this is really about personal perception.
