The other Sydney swims generally seem to be down on the numbers this year since they peaked 2 years ago - Cole, B2B, Northern Beaches.

I too have had the good fortune to swim next to John and cannot see anything extraordinary other than - he is so fast and makes it look so easy, just like all the great champions.

I knew it! <br /><br />John Kelso is a freak of nature *shakes head in wonder* One day I hope to get close to his heels but I fear that will be when I'm 82 and he's still making 2 km comfortably under 40 minutes. <br /><br />I have one word for today: Perfect in every way.
