ON THE COVER: A bout with prostate cancer was not going to keep Bob Strand down. Less than six months after surgery to remove the tumor, he was back in the pool, setting FINA Masters world records for men 65-69. His accomplishments earned him recognition as one of Swimming World Magazine's Top 12 World Masters Swimmers of the Year for 2012. (See stories, pages 10 and 32.) [COVER PHOTO BY STEPHANIE NORTH]
