As much as it pains me to say this, our own Smiths are much more impressive than this guy, swimming wise anyway.
So where can I get copies of their books?
The ability to be an effective communicator and an entertaining writer is completely different than the skills required to be an elite swimmer. Anyone that can "sell" swimming to the general public is a sure winner in my book.
Two thumbs out! (Popov style)
You can get Off the Deep End by W. Hodding Carter at Amazon or other book sellers. It is a fun summertime reader for us avid swimmers.
Perhaps you are aware and simply trying to diffuse a potential conflict, but I think Gull wants some books authored by the Smith brothers.
What might the titles be? Would there be references to USMS forumites? Color photographs? A section devoted to triathlon swimmers?

How bout Geek's writings on the art of water noodling and how to delevop Vo2 Max capacity if you are an Eastern European? (That one is for us "long time forumites")
I don't know about John but Paul is the expert on training with fins, snorkels, paddles, and a buoy all at the same time expose'. Although I could definitely write the forward.

What really gets me is that he is talking of actually qualifying for the Olympics -- not just Trials.
I feel about this about the same way I felt about the following:
Porn star for Governor?
Mary Carey... believes she can beat Arnie with the help of new teeth, *** implants and a spot on The Tonight Show.
Schwarzenegger, who is seeking a second term, made an appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno earlier this month, prompting Democrat Phil Angelides to complain he also deserved airtime.
"More people know that I am running for governor than (know of) Arnold's Democratic challenger," Carey said. "Our polling results have shown my name to be more recognizable than any other candidate in the race."
The star of Boobsville Sorority Girls and Cheerleader School is running for governor as a write-in candidate and said her name was among the top search terms on Google -- proving she had the popularity to win. She said her request to be on the show was denied.
She attracted wide attention during her first bid for California governor in 2003. In preparation for this year's race she lost weight, replaced her teeth and got new *** implants.
"I just don't think it's fair of Jay to have his friend Arnie on, and not me," Carey said in a statement. "I think Jay would really like me once he got a chance to meet me. And I'd be a better interview since I'm much cuter and speak better English."
Leno has so far declined to have Angelides, who has been criticized even within his own party for a lack of charisma and is lagging in the polls, as a guest on The Tonight Show.
A spokesman for Leno could not immediately be reached for comment.
Dang it, you beat me to it, that's what I get for starting my weekend drinking early.
I was gonna offer the following titles:
Noodling - The Art of Staying Dry While Swimming
The Dark Side of Men's Swimming - Women - forward by Smith #1, main body by Smith #2
Free Latte's All Around, Gull Is in Town - by yours truly
The 5 am Workout and Loss of Sex in a Marriage - anonymous
:lmao:
