Who can swim their age?

USMS Meet Results Database Rankings If I did this correctly, here is a list of 99 men ages 60 and above who have swum their age or better in 2013 - 2014 SCY season. If you do the same thing with LCM times, the number is quite a bit less. I started going through the times to see who beat their age by the widest margin, and if my math is correct, the honor goes to: David Radcliff, 80, who swam a 71.82 (1:11.82)--an 8 second gap; followed by... Dave Quiggan, age 70, who swam a 64.19--very close to a six second gap! Then... James Elder, 71, 65.79--just over 5 seconds Other wide multi-second gappers include: Rick Colella, 63, 59:04 Lee Childs, 66, 62.89 Jack Groselle, 60, 57.79, was the youngest person who I could find who beat his age. I couldn't find anyone under the 60-64 age group who accomplished their age or less in the 100 LCM freestyle. Dan Stephenson, 57, came closest with a 57.7. In 2013, Jack Groselle, then 59, swam a 58.51, which may be youngest to do this. I checked the great Rich Abrahams, who beat his age at 60 and 61 but didn't make it while a 55-59 year old, the closest he came being the 58.23 he swam at age 57. At this point, I would say a strong case could be made for Jack being the greatest "young old" 100 LCM free swimmer; Dave being the greatest "slightly less young old" swimmer; and David Radcliffe being the currently undisputed champion of the world!
