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 don't see any reason why swimming wouldn't be like other sports and typically athletes are in "the prime of their career" in their late 20s to early 30s. The difference between sports like baseball and football and swimming--of course--is it's a lot harder to make a good living swimming, thus most swimmers retire sometime in their 20s.
