I would appreciate a reply from someone who could point me to a an
address or phone number for a catalog of mail-order swimming gear.

I'm looking for swimming goggles to replace the goggles I bought in
college.  They're the sort of rectangular ones made by Arena.  Stores
in my area don't seem to carry anythting other than Spedo products.
A friend of mine swears by his goggles he says come from Switzerland.

Is there such a catalog?  Maybe these addresses & phone numbers
could go in the FAQ file underconstruction.

Try 13 years to be exact, looking for #14 this year but anyway... 
I am not a d-man as jim was, I am a sprinter.  Thus I only have one workout a
day to do, and all yardage that I do is in one 2 1/2 hour time period.  Plus
you must add the 1/4 mile dash to the dining hall trying to get there before it
closes because coach held you over too long.... (uphill even)

It depends... I have a lanky build myself (6'1 3/4"  155 lbs)  and I tend to do
better in the sprint events.  I think it has more to do with ability, although
having that extra inch in the length of your arms does tend to help!

I have the same problem as your wife.  Something about the pool, maybe just
the act of forcing air out of the nose under water, creates an irritation in
my sinuses that makes me much more susceptible to allergy problems.  The pool
I use is well maintained and not heavily chlorinated, so I'm not so sure about
the chlorine theory.  Has anybody had success by just switching to a
non-chlorinated pool?  (I've heard of ozone systems and bromine systems.)

I, too, have had difficulty making a nose plug work (how do you swallow with
one of those damn things on?).

I have had some success with a perscription nose spray called Beconase.
It works directly on the irritation, much like a hydrocortizone cream for
your skin.  I have been told it is a type of steroid but that it is very
safe because it is not absorbed into your body.  Your wife's allergist can
proscribe it for her.  It costs about $30/month, depending on how often
you use it.  The spray only lowers my sensitivity, so during the bad
allergy seasons here (Houston), I still have to stop swimming.

I'd still like a magic bullet for this problem.

Kind of a funny quote in the paper. After Semenov arrived, one of the papers
reported that Esposito traded him because he felt Semenov may have been
TOO good for Tampa Bay. He would make a pass, but no one was in position
to receive it. The wingers for Tampa Bay seem to be the grind it out type
whereas Vancouver has a couple of finesse players to complement Semenov's
talents.

O.k. people, this type of thread seems to come up alot and everyone keeps
putting Belfour in a U.S. uniform. Belfour is a Canadian, you guys have
enough good players south of the border you don't need to go stealing ours.

Mind you I don't know if Belfour would be good enough to make our team so
maybe we could loan him to you if you want.

BTW Barasso is American you might write him in as the backup.

The rumor has it that they are not a happy bunch anymore. With several key
players going to arbitration, this makes some good sense.

Is it me, or is the Gretzky situation sound exactly like Bossy's six
years ago?  I mean, a player has a great career, then suddenly his
back is shot at the end of one year.  He takes some time off, but says he's
not retiring, just letting his back heal.  Bossy took a whole year
off, before announcing his retirement.  I think Gretzky will do the
same thing.  It's a shame, but I think we've seen Gretzky play in the
NHL for the last time.
