Don't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the further you get.
Michael Phelps (Swimming)
If you fail to prepare, you're prepare to fail.

Don't practice til you get it right, practice til you can't get it wrong.

Women Swimmers
Colorado has a history of woman swimmers who have done well in the Olympics.
Amy Van Dyken went into swimming at a doctors suggestion. He thought swimming would strengthen her lungs and help her with her asthma. It is trite to say she took to competitive swimming like a fish takes to water. In high school at Cherry Creek High School in Denver she was not accepted at first by team members Her swimming ability convinced team members they needed her.
She attended Arizona University and switched to Colorado State where she was at the top of NCAA rankings. She won four Gold Medals in the 1996 Olympics and was Woman Athlete of the year by NCAA.. In 2000 she made a comeback from injuries to make the 2000 Olympic team and won two more Gold Medals.
Missy Franklin , .
Malissa Frankland won five gold medals in the 2016 Summer Olympics at the age of 17, She held various championships and medals in her swimming career.
She lived with her father and mother less than a mile from me. One day while walking with friends on the Highline Canal walking and biking path we were passed by a visibly tall woman with her hair piled on top of her head to make her look even taller.. At her running pace she quickly got ahead of us. Just before she ran out of sight, it dawned on me. I gasped "That was Missy Franklin." Oh how close we come to greatness and don't even know it.

Gone Swimming
How do swimmer clean themselves? They wash up on shore.
Dolphins only swim in saltwater because pepper makes them sneeze
Ghosts like to go swimming in lake Erie.
What word looks the same upside down. and backward? Swims.
