I just saw this article "Swimmer’s death leaves open questions": "Asked if he’d ever try the event, US swimmer Michael Phelps said, “Not a chance, no way. I won’t do open water.’’ I'm a bit surprised. Is he scared of the dangers of open water? Or is he technically competitive in open water? :rolleyes: Have there been any swimmers who won both pool medal and open-water medal in world events?

    Yup, nothing to pull on if you're on your back. I thought only I did that. Or, did you mean the long, long black line on the bottom? This is what I meant. Or thay could have electric fences along the course.
