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???

Wow, what a lot of info!!! All of you guys are great. And to answer some questions. I swam one year in high school so I did not get an early start. My last meet was in 2005. Im just getting back into swimming and for some reason I am swimming very well and I don't understand how. It is only week 4 back from not swimming since 2005 and Im beating my high school tmes already and Im now one of the fastest Fliers on the team.
It is great to know that there is so much more ahead to come.
Also, Im not much of a social butterfly, haha. But I do manage working, swimming like 10-15 hours a week, having some social life and being able to sleep and do what any normal person my age does. Im 24, have no kids, and not married so I know that makes a big difference.
