Friday FunDay: Name That Swimmer! Who Is the Legend Described?
Over the past few weeks, you may have noticed that Swimming World has adopted themed days for several articles. The goal is to allow readers to look forward to a specific type of feature on a scheduled day. As part of Friday FunDay, we have already offered pieces on pump-up songs and games for practice, along with a quiz to test fans’ knowledge of the sport.
This week, we debut “Name That Swimmer,” a short feature that will be part of the regular Friday FunDay rotation. Like the quiz, this feature will measure readers’ knowledge of premier athletes in the sport – past and present. Try to identify the athlete through as few bullet points as possible.
If you know the athlete described, reply with a response in the comments.
