Keep in mind, "Once an Olympian, always an Olympian." They're generally not referred to as "former Olympians." And USMS is proud to count over 350 Olympians who have been USMS members over the years. You can view a list of them here: usms.org >> About USMS >> USMS History >> Olympians in USMS

For swimmers as myself, the wannabe part is what makes it fun &#55357;&#56835; But he really can't say that without climbing on the block himself first

True, most Masters swimmers, including myself, are not Olympians or even close, though of course there are some former Olympians who participate. Correction: Make that current. ;) There have been several CURRENT Olympians over the years (who were current Olympians when I saw them at Nationals).

If swimming with us plodders and wannabes helped her, how bad could it have been?
