They were comparable in their talent and performances long ago. Dennis trains solidly compared to Dara and quite a bit more than most masters swimmers.
No question about that, but I think there might be a big difference in what they do out of the pool. Dennis continues to coach on deck and Dara is at home getting massages, etc.
I think the point is that Dara's success is quite a bit more noticeable than Dennis's success.
I certainly can't disagree with that. And I guess the question is then, if Dennis did emulate Dara's training program would he be able to perform at a comparable level to her? Odds are, no, he couldn't.
