I know this is a long shot...but after watching Michael Phelps and the other swimmers I have been inspired to jump back in the water...and COMPETE. I was a decent swimmer 10 years ago in 100 fr, 200 fr, and 200 IM (jr cuts). I am 6'5'' with a 6'11'' wingspan, but the problem is the weight - 270 lbs.
With the new light swimming is receiving, would anyone be interested in watching my day-to-day as I get back in shape and aim to compete against the masters elites??? if so, please sponsor me so I can swim 4 hrs a day and not have to worry about work for a year!

I suggest first finding a good sales job, one that gives you a flexible schedule, and a product you really believe in. With the right product, sales and swimming can go hand in hand. Focus on the lifestyle benefits in the short term, and realize that everything you're doing now will keep you healthy and give you a better quality of life. With that in mind, who knows, you might make top 10 or better, in masters. Let me tell you, that feeling of accomplishment, that feeling of doing your best even as you age, that feeling is worth earning!
