Stumbled upon this article from Aug. 2012: Life turns 360 for our oldest world champions.
"AUSTRALIA'S newest world-record holders have an average age of 90.
In a swim that brought a crowd of about 200 screaming spectators to tears, the four Melbourne ''golden girls'' set a world masters record in the 4 x 50-metre relay, swimming the race in about five minutes, 45 seconds."
The women's ages: 84, 89, 90, 97.

That's awesome! Check out one of our own American oldies with a beautiful dive start off the blocks and a terrific freestyle (She is closest to the camera with the yellow cap. I'm sorry I lost her in the sun for a short time after the turn):

Watching the World Record be broken by the oldest US Masters relay at Mission Viejo was something I will not soon forget. I hope to be like these folks when I'm 90. Of course, the youngster in the group was only 88. :)

Cool! I like the average age, BUT it can lead to some funky numbers. 90 + 90+ 60+ 30= not fair to the oldsters!!
Or - did I misunderstand the word average???
