Swimmers

Always inspired by the current Olympic competition, my group at work spends a little time each day discussing yesterday's outcomes. During one of the discussions about swimming, it was observed that most, if not all, world class swimmers are tall.

The tall one in our group is around 6' 6"; he's the one that dropped me off with the day care guys . Always interested in the lives of my colleagues I asked if he'd ever thought about swimming competitively. He said, "I think about it all the time". He went on to say that "it looks like a lot of work" and "I think about never, ever, doing anything that looks that painful......all the time".
