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???

I thought it was 33.33 years old.
Even at 33.33 years of age, or even 42. Im just happy to know that I still have a long road ahead of me and that I didnt decide to start swimming and competing to late in my life. Here I was thinking that know that I have the ability to go to college, that 24 is not to old to get great times and maintain it for 4 years or more.
