Watching the Olympic swimming competition has brought back so many memories of my days as a competitive swimmer...i wasn't anywhere even remotely close to this level but i had teammates who were...two Olympians on our team...my best friend on the 1976 USA team and another on the 1980 British team...i was living in the UK in 1980 & was able to watch the Moscow games and watched him win gold in the 100m breaststroke...knowing how hard we trained...remembering how our team captain carried me to the car & drove me to the doctor when i broke my foot...a scared 17 year old away from home for the first time, they were my family...we kept each other sane (or insane...lol)...that the freshman swimmers still had to pass the PE swimming test even though we were all standing there in our team Speedos...lol
