I thought of a *** question:
How would you rank yourself among the swimmers at your pool? Are you a better swimmer there, or perhaps even the best? Or...?
You may consider all factors (technique, speed, endurance, form,...), or only the factors that you consider
important.
Let's see if the folks here make up the best of all the pools out there. :cool:

I'm one of the slowest, and the absolute slowest among the core group of die-hards that consistently come to practice. I find it funny that the original post listed different categories in which we could rate ourselves. Technique, form, endurance.. those are all meaningless subjective labels. Speed is the only objective measure. The clock doesn't lie!
Most days I don't mind being the slowest because it means I always have someone to chase and to motivate myself toward improvement. I think it's harder to push yourself to get better when you're already the fastest. Since I'm the charitable sort, I often switch roles by putting on fins and becoming the rabbit. :D
