    Gary's age group coach crushed him withheavy yardage (and everyone alelse)...not much into quality/sprint work at all...and when Gary was that skinny guy as a freshman at Texas he goes 1:33 in a 200...so again as Chris says a LOT of talent..a lot of hard work and at various points in his career. Bottom's focus at TRC is far more race based and very much built around the 50/100. No evidence of a 1:33 200 SCY swim for GH Jr. unless his time was not in an official meet. The USA Swimming top 50 times in SCY goes from Simon Burnett's 1:31.20 to Ian Crocker's 1:34.49. Interestingly enough - GH Jr.'s name is nowhere to be found in the top 50 all time SCY times. His dad's name however is in many places. Not intended to take away from GH Jr's accomplishments but I am a doubter that he swam a 1:33 200 free.
