I wonder what one of the greatest swimmers of all time would think about all these gadgets like pool bouys, kickboards, paddles,flipflops,nose clips ect..?

I think he'd probably laugh along with a number of us at the amount of toys the triathletes use. But enjoy trying it all out too!
Do you think he'd try to get a swinging-vine start written in the rule book?:D
Just saw that John Sheffield (Boy) pasted away just 2 months ago. I always loved those Tarzan movies. Growing up in Atlanta I saw them alot on TBS. I always wanted to be Boy and have a pet "Cheetah" :agree:

Why would his opinion matter anymore than any other swimmer on this forum or in the sport? There are good swimmers that don't use any equipment. There are good swimmers that love to use equipment. Tarzan wouldn't carry anymore weight on the opinion than any other swimmer that uses/doesn't use equipment
Don't be talkin about Geek that way. He isn't around to defend himself. Nothing was critical or negative. See comments above to address your "negative comment" It was neither harsh nor negative.
Geek? I didn't name any names or refer to anything specific. Instead, I was talking in generalities, regarding my personal experiences on the forums, as well as posts I have read directed at others.
That was me poking fun at old toothpick legs.
Furdumper - 'round here they are called tiny sticks of dynamite. And, I shall remind you that none other than Speedo himself referred to my 1-beat kick as "the most beautiful and glorious kick I have ever seen."

We all know that you were talkin about ol toothpick legs when you made the comment. I just added the names(probably mine too) so there wouldn't be any doubt about who you were griping at this time,since it wasn't HOA. He's not been negative, just stated his opinions.

Look TP, Speedo had to say something after seeing you swim. I am sure that was the most polite way of saying "i ain't ever seen two pieces of straw do so much moving yet go no where at the sametime."
