Please share your true swimming stories of remarkable feats, inspiring, interesting or unsual.
Today Sat Jan 22nd, 2010 at the end of my blog I retold a story I heard UT Men's assistant coach tell the mens team this morning.
Please share yours. I look forward to reading them. Let's gather round the fire and be amazed.
Swim Faster Faster,

Speaking of close 500's, this happened at the 2007 PNA Championships:
Men 18-24 500 Yard Freestyle
1 Whitbeck, Dave 24 HMST 4:59.01
27.18 56.70 1:26.17 1:56.66
2:27.38 2:58.09 3:28.85 3:59.90
4:30.09 4:59.01
Men 35-39 500 Yard Freestyle
1 Kays, David 39 PRO 4:59.01P
27.25 56.49 1:26.16 1:56.52
2:27.11 2:57.71 3:28.34 3:58.85
4:29.46 4:59.01
I watched that race from the pool deck. Of course I'd seen ties before, but never in an event that long.
While we're on the subject, I didn't see any of this insanity happen but here's a video of the swimoff tie: YouTube - 2008 EISL SWIM OFF TIE (and where's my :jawdrop: smilie?)
That 200 Free swimoff was just insane...did they go for a coinflip; rock/paper/scissors; or just swim again!???? HAHAHA.
