Is it your sister who holds the 50free record?

And for the record, I always sucked at traditional sports. 16th in the Florida JGA Championships, ~.200 batting average in Little League (though I was the catcher, and catchers usually don't bat well), broken bones playing soccer. Indoor drumline, though, our school rocked at. Third place at the World Championships in '01 for our division, only the second time we had ever gone (first time we finished 21st). Went from being ranked 11th to the bronze medal.

Yup, that's my younger sister following in my footsteps, though that's not entirely true since we both started swimming at around the same time. Not counting the divers, a third of the records are held by Canadians, and even stranger is that all of the Canadians are Nova Scotia girls and sisters on top of that! What are the chances! :D
