There is a person that I know who qualified for and will be competing at 2015 Spring Nationals next month (in 50 fly). This person did not swim as a child but came to swimming in their late 30s. Their first swim meet was at age 40.
Is anyone aware of others who came to swimming in middle age and have been able to qualify for Nats? We're having a fun discussion about how common this is. We believe that there might be in some distance freestyle events given the popularity of triathlons. But suspect its less likely in stroke events.
Anyone know of anyone? Thank you.
It sounds like you're making great progress, Elaine! Keep up the good work and the positive attitude and you'll be back in no time :)
I probably won't go to Greensboro next spring (all that turning in SC drives me crazy!), but we (Oregon) are hosting summer nationals, so I'll definitely be there. Hope you can make it up here!
