I was just wondering. At what point is ones swimming career while they realise that they have hit the wall, and then sur passed it and they cant possibly go faster??
The reason I ask is because Phelphs is "retiring" after the 2012 games.
But then I see athlets go out and compete that are well into their late 20's and early 30's.
What is the averge prime age for a male swimmer before times start becoming slower???

Im glad to hear that the age is at a higher level that say running. Im 24 and It is great to hear that I have a lot still in front of me.
Im also curious, why is it so much higher than other sports, i have watched track and field and people retire at like 28 - 32 if not sooner.
