Extra marital affairs in masters swimming have happened and will continue to happen. When two people share a common interest and spend time together, bonding takes place and sometimes emotional and physical affairs result. There's plenty of opportunity around training and even more at meets & conventions.
Sometimes these affairs are just one night drunken flings. Sometimes they are long term.
Did your affair help your swimming or hurt it?
Did it add extra stress to your life?
How did you deal with all the emotions from it?
How did it start? How did it end? When did it change?

In all seriousness - I remember my first ever meet (Illinois State Masters Meet) during warm up I was pretty much touched in more places than I knew I had on my body. The lanes were a little thin! :help:
Backstroke is very conducive to inappropriate touching, which is one of the reasons why I don't engage in it very often. I had my rather substantial buttocks firmly cupped by a lanemate once during a backstroke set, necessitating a cigarette break. Most unhealthy.
