I think it is obvious that competitive swimming should be done "al  
fresco". Eliminates arguments over who's suit is doing what, and would  
probably increase television viewership.... ;^)

I just wish that they wouldn't call it Extreme. It isn't extreme, it  
is just using all the tools available.

At this point in the game, the Extreme category is more like running  
QRP, a random wire, and hand logging. All while setting on a picnic  
table in the park.
