- Favorite Masters meet
- 2009 Long Course Nationals at the Indianapolis pool. It’s my favorite pool and as the young guy in the 55-59 age group, I broke two national records in the 50 &100 breaststroke.
- Favorite set
- Fridays I love doing speed work. The main set is 4 rounds of 8 x 25’s with an easy 100 in between rounds. Each round gets more rest with send off intervals of :35, :40, :45, :50. The first round is free, and then I will vary which stroke I swim on the next three rounds because I also like to train for the 100IM. 8. What is something you need to improve or are constantly working on in the pool? Swimming is a never ending quest to optimize propulsion and reduce drag. However, this is especially important for me at my age as I am working to try and regain the ability to kick breaststroke after my 4th knee surgery.

- Big goals
- See how close I can return to my pre-injury capabilities, while accepting the fact that whatever I can do will be for fitness and fun! 10. Favorite swim Olympian? Rebecca Soni (Gold medalist first woman to break 2:20.00 in the 200LCM breaststroke at the 2008 Bejing Olympics, who shared breaststroke tips with me when I met her at work as a Kellogg’s sponsored athlete) 11. What do you like to do outside the pool? Cycling, fast boats, building high performance stereo speakers
