How old is too old?

Hi. We have a couple of 80 and 90 year olds in Virginia. Sadly we just lost one of them (at 101). I do want to give a thumbs up to Shirley Loftus Charley. 65, she did all the 200's and 1000 on a Saturday, the 1650, 400 IM, and 500 on Sunday morning. Took down a couple of national records, state records, took the high point award and the 200 fastest times and distance fastest times awards. I'd say there is never such a thing as too old.

Not a swimmer, but Robert Marchand could serve as an inspiration to many older athletes: www.nytimes.com/.../lessons-on-aging-well-from-a-105-year-old-cyclist.html

"Old is 10 years past the time when you say it" is a phrase I use a lot.
