Hi All,
I did some analysis of the Ironman Arizona swim, the 2011 1-Hour Postal Swim results, and the 1-Hour Postal Swim world records.
This link includes a chart comparing performance between men and women in those events. www.watergirl.co/.../how-big-gender-gap-swimming.
I'd be interested to hear what you guys have to say on the subject.

This is the last post in the series. Also the most interesting. It compares the affect of aging on Masters Swimmers and Ironman Swim, Bike and Run.
For triathletes, swimming performance declines faster than cycling. Masters swimmers don't decline much at all.
