    I'd never seen the show before - and probably wouldn't watch it again unless there was a swimmer featured - but enjoyed the segment on Dara. A lot of the focus was on whether or not she's clean. To me, some of the commentators came across as not very bright when they asked the drug questions. They missed an opportunity to find out what she has done. The doorway to her comeback was Masters swimming, and everyone sitting around the table let the reference to Masters slide by without comment. Disappointing, but not surprising. Dara was radiant, as always. Her reaction to the haters was something I hadn't really seen before in an interview. To me, she came across as a person who has nothing to hide, but I've always believed that. The most stunning thing about the segment was seeing footage of Dara setting the American Record at 40 alongside footage of the Mommy & Me swim class with her two-year-old daughter, Tessa. The most unexpected thing was the suggestion that having a child improved her flexibility.
