Not just for fitness, because that would be discouraging.

  • I believe the July/August SWIMMER Magazine in its write-up of Spring Nationals featured a couple of swimmers who came to the pool in their 30s. There's proof of a couple of folks having done that. As for competing at local meets, anyone can do that. Great events. And fun setting new PRs as you improve. That's one benefit of starting later in life. Most folks are slowing down and getting slower. By starting late, you're regularly breaking new ground. It can be exciting.
