Thank you, Thomas R. Barton, JD! The times/distances were always changing. I was thinking about my competitive swimming days when I wrote this piece and I always had a few different races that I would be training for at any given time. Usually the 100 backstroke, though. And, honestly, I can’t even remember the time now even though I was obsessed with it back then! The picture I used was of a stopwatch that I thought looked similar to the ones the timers used during meets.
