  • Georgia Masters Swimming June 2019
    Georgia Masters Swimming June 2019 By Elaine Krugman If you participate in the Go the Distance (GTD) challenge each year like I do, you keep track of your daily swim yardage online in a Fitness Log (FLOG). As USMS describes the program, “GTD is a self-directed event intended to encourage Masters swimmers to regularly exercise and track their progress. There’s no time limit for the distance milestones, except that they must be achieved in the calendar year. Speed doesn’t count—just the effort to attain whatever goal you set for yourself.” The most I have ever swum in a year was 454.28 miles in 2012, when I was 50. Chris Greene, on the other hand, swam 1,795.06 miles in 2018, and we are the same age! He didn’t just accomplish that goal in 2018; he also swam more than the highest GTD milestone of 1,500 miles each of the past five years. Since he started participating in the program, he has placed 3rd in the country and 1st in Georgia each year. In order to put in that kind of annual mileage, you have to be dedicated, and Chris has been a dedicated swimmer since joining a YMCA age group team at the age of five. When he was fifteen, Chris was given the opportunity to attend Mercersburg Academy, an internationally known prep school for swimming and academics. While attending the school, he was a member of relay teams that set a National Prep Relay record and two National Championships. During the summer of 1979, before Chris’s senior year, he trained with a Ft.

TROUBLED WATERS: DIANA NYAD AND THE BIRTH OF THE GLOBAL RULES OF MARATHON SWIMMING * Hadar Aviram ABSTRACT On September 3, 2013, Diana Nyad reported having completed a 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida. The general enthusiasm about her swim was not echoed in the marathon swimming community, whose members expressed doubts about the integrity and honesty of the swim. The community debate that followed gave rise to the creation of the Global Rules of Marathon Swimming, the first effort to regulate the sport. This Article uses the community’s reaction to Nyad’s deviance to examine the role that crime and deviance plays in the creation and modification of legal structures. Relying on Durkheim’s functionalism theory, the Article argues that Nyad’s perceived deviance contributed to the community in four ways: it fostered solidarity among community members, it provided an opportunity to clarify the rules, it prompted a clarification of the hierarchy between rules, and it offered an opportunity for change and modernization of the sport.
