Here are the events John swam in at the Santa Clara Nationals 5/2001. John... look out for the competition... this is really close. (Is this how Tori felt at L.A. in '84?) See who's aging up next year and how they stack up in the 40-44 age group for Hawaii.

Get psyched for an all out battle. Who's going to have the edge? Whoever trains the best and psyches up the best. Go John! You are my hero... you are all our heroes! Not only do you swim with amazing speed, but you swim at all. So many great swimmers claim burnout or won't compete for other reasons, but the courage it takes to come out and compete, win or lose, is an inspiration to us all... from the slowest to the physically challenged. We support Master's swimming... and you! Thank You! Think SCY Hawaii 2002!

John Smith (39) near lane, at start of 100 yd. fly at Mountain View SCY on 2/04/01.	Smith's wingspan is evident as he comes off turn one. There's some kind of explosion going on behind him. Wonder what that could be?

John Smith (37) near lane, John Olsen (29) blue suit, and Nei-Kaun Chia (21) 3rd swimmer, battle it out in 50-yd freestyle. Chamblee Dynamo, St.Patty’s Day meet 3/13/99.
	Olsen beats Smith to set a new USMS record of 20.xx while Smith comes finishes at 21.88. The older we get…(Smith is old enough to be Chia’s dad!)
