How about that Rebecca Adlington Eh? Now I think the last time I wrote anything substantial about swimming I was discusssing the Masters Champs at Sheffield last October/November when I watched a couple of Loughborough guys go stroke for stroke in around 3:50, which I was rather impressed with, however it was not the time that excited me to write about Rebecca.
