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???
