Reflections

Is This As Good As It Gets?

By Phillip M. Pollock. Before the big meet, a myriad of thoughts naturally travels through the mind of a 53 -year -old swimmer who’s been swimming Masters for only four years—”You do, you learn, you question.” And because it’s so much fun, “You do it again.”

 

Hot Masters with a “Can -Do” Attitude

By Phillip Whitten. Swimmers at the Disability Championships are nothing if not inspirational, impressing spectators, able-bodied swimmers and officials alike with their “can do” attitude. Ultimately, though, what defines these men and women is that they are athletes.

 

Max Effort

By Phillip Whitten. Meet Maxine Bahns: a 30 -year -old actress/neophyte athlete/classics scholar, who plans on competing in Hawaii’s Ironman Triathlon.

 

Bench Marks

By Michael J. Stott. Swim benches are not only helpful in developing specific strength in swimmers, but they are also invaluable in addressing the critical areas of endurance, technique, power, speed, injury prevention and rehabilitation.
