Just don&#39;t piss her off. :)en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/131184?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:57:12 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:0eb2d0b1-d2c5-4898-8156-9bc90a07a073TRYM_SwimmerShe was the face of Australian Masters from the beginning. Met her at the first ever Australian Masters Meet in late March, &#39;74. She only swam a fifty, but the newshounds were all over her. Along with the 40 or so Yanks that showed up, it was a good publicity start for their program. Have a picture somewhere. Will have to check the arms on that one.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/131118?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:15:02 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:aba74cab-5cdc-4272-b79b-175042af6adcFormer MemberI do not think it is anything obscene???

I knew her well. She swam in the 1956 Olympics and 1958 BE&amp;CW games when I was there. The first time I met her we had an ice cream cone together at a small shop in Melbourne. The smallest scoops of ice cream I ever saw. We also had a milk shake together at the same shop, One tiny scoop in a large glass of milk. I was also with her when I had my first cup of espresso coffee. We were not daters just friends, she was interested in a USA Basketball Player and got in trouble for breaking curfew. One of the Aussie breaststroke swimmers on those teams was a model, she was the one I took out to a movie.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/130981?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 31 Aug 2009 05:16:56 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:56cef4bc-b615-4c47-8492-be426d87ff17Allen StarkIn pictures of her with the other Aussie Olympians,she had bigger arms than most of the guys.I wouldn&#39;t want to mess with her.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/130960?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:58:45 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:fb4e987e-feb2-4112-b5b1-863ec49a14dbBetsyDawn swam in USMS LC Nationals in 1987 (I think). She was there to publicize Worlds in Australia in 1988. She was not at her competitive best but swam anyway and was a good sport about it all.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
