Can someone start at 31 with the intent to compete?

Not just for fitness, because that would be discouraging.

    I hear a lot of Masters swimmers say, "I'll never be that fast." My answer is always, "Why not?" Geek, always the wise one with straight and to the point answers. I've never looked to the Top 10 and National/World Record holders as benchmarks for my swimming. I do enjoy seeing what adults are capable of doing in the pool when they get beyond their 20's and 30's, but my own benchmarks and goals are really just about improving upon what I've already done. Or, depending upon the level of work I've put into my training, just attempting not to slow down too much!
