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 got a participating letter from the Canadian Government. They sent me a letter for Chuckie and my 50th years anniversery last June.
I represented Canada in the 1958 Commonwealth Games. I got a paticipating medal plus a silver medal for our medley relay. They did not book a return ticket for me with the rest of the team. I had to pay for my own fare home. When I tried to get the return fare back no one replied to my request.
I must be a looser - I was a loser the flights were expensive in those days lost a few bucks.
