Very interesting.

Sounds like she was at least a collegiate swimmer or beyond?...

Yeah she swam competitively middle school through the first 4 years of college. Once she graduated and started in law school she focused pretty much on that exclusively. She did hang with the post collegiate swim crowd though and has some interesting stories about some of today's Olympic swimmers.

He was already at the point so far beyond everyone else.

Not a large regret, but a small one is that we did not know each other back then and I wish I could have seen her compete at her peak I've seen her swim and she's good, but its different
