Gender Gap in Swimming

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.

    The (seconds per 100) vertical component of the 100 meter swim pace by gender and age group chart is has lines every 20 second chunks. Consider have lines every 1, 2, or 5 second lines along with a link to the raw data USMS 1 Hour Postal Championships (January 1 - 31, 2011) Women's Results Men's Results you wrote "USMS 1-Hour Postal Swim World Record Holders" it should be USMS Long Distance National Records Ande, great suggestion for the lines on the graph. I also agree that the records should be labeled as national records, not world records. I don't agree with calling them Long Distance Records, though. That's the name of the file I referenced, but I'm only including the 1-Hour Postal Swim records. Kurt, thanks for the comment. I responded on my blog.
