How many world-class swimmers on this forum?

Touchy subject.

there are many world class people here some of em can swim fast too

I used to be at the same practice with a world class swimmer(Brendan Hansen) for 2 summers back in the late 90s. Ok, he wasn't world class at the time but he was on his way!

I'm world class. . . just not at swimming.

Where's Frank? He could list every FINA ranked swimmer in a nanosecond or less.

I finished 10th in the 400M Free at the 2006 FINA Masters World Championships and got a medal for it. Does that count?

I didn't know there was at least one Olympian on this forum (Chris Stevenson) until recently. A really pleasant surprise :) Are there more world-class swimmers who post here? Will be glad to know! :D It depends on what your definition of world class swimming is? You mention Olympian and Chris Stevenson as your definition? I am not sure if Chris is an Olympian but I am sure he fits the description of a world class masters swimmer. He probably was a world class swimmer in high school, college, and in his youth. I know of some Olympians that contribute here and they all would be considered world class swimmers and they are Erik Hochstein, Gary Hall Sr, Gail Roper and George Park. There may be others that use a different identity and I am sure there are many visitors here that may be Olympians that read the forums. There are so many people that contribute here with different backgrounds that I suggest you read the poll that was recently compiled here and figure out the different kinds of world class swimmers that fit your definition. forums.usms.org/showthread.php

depends what your definition of "class" is

't tell, but I'm flexing. I have no business posting in this thread :shakeshead:

There are many, many "world-class swimmers" on here . . .
