My friend just announced that her grandfather swam in the Olympics, when the swimming competion was done in the Hudson River. She is 40.
What does she mean by this? I don't think any Olympics were in NY, but could they have trained there? Or is she fibbing? :joker:
Just curious...SmartSwimmeroftheDay award to the person who knows!

Interesting change in cultural values and perspectives. Marathon swimming, esp. the accomplishment of channel swims etc. used to be a very big deal media-wise; however, the coverage today of such things as hot dog eating contests, poker etc. dwarfs any media interest in this sport.
