"...was not a good workout swimmer."

I was flipping through the channels the other night and came across the Big Ten Network where they were running a series called “Big Ten Icons” (although I think that they should call it 'Big Ten Football Icons' as the majority of the "icons" are football players). It is an original series counting down the top 50 competitors in the conference’s rich history. Each member of the 50 is featured with a special 30-minute show hosted by legendary broadcaster Keith Jackson.

So far, the only swimmer profiled is swimmer Mark Spitz. Check it out on-line with a short 5 minute video clip at Big Ten Icons.

For someone that was not a good workout swimmer, he had an amazing number of achivements. Check it out!
