Not just for fitness, because that would be discouraging.
One thing is certain, if you don't start you won't be able to compete. DFL is still better than DNS.
Find a masters team with a good coach, start working out, get some help with technique and see what happens.
Your potential is based on a multiple factors. Some you have control of, some you don't.
However, You define what success means to you. Does that mean #1 at Nationals in your AG, World Record in your AG, or maybe just not being last in your heat at a local meet. You won't know what you can achieve unless you give it a shot.
Have fun and good luck with your goals.
