Athlete

In everyday life there is always manana. There is no urgency.

Because a known fact is better than an unknown fact.

Swimming isn't everything, winning is.

I swam my brains out.

What it is saying is that someone who was a world champion and who takes care of himself with a 17-year rest and applies the proper training techniques and perseverance could be successful.

In my day, at 12 years old, which was 38 years ago, we worked out in summer months for two and a half hours. Today someone in that age group might work out for four hours, two hours in the morning and two at night.
