I am looking for a list of Olympian Masters and what Olympics and events they particpated in. If you have such a list or know where one is, please let me know. Individual anecdotes are OK too.
Background:
I want to write to "Splash" magazine and ask them to feature some of the people on such a list when they write about great swimmers. I'm tired of reading (and having my kids read) about so-and-so great swimmer, who got to the Olympics, did great, and now swimming is behind them (i.e. they don't swim anymore). On the "mission statement" of Splash, they give lip service to a lifelong involvement with swimming, but they never seem to come up with an example of such a person.

There are 171 Olympians who have joined Masters over the years, although not all of them have competed. In Hawaii there were Ron Karnaugh, Plamen Alexandrov, Tori Trees Smith, Limin Liu, Yoshi Oyakawa, Bill Mulliken, Geoff Gaberino, Graham Johnston, Roque Santos, Colette Crabbe, Steve Clark, Jeff Farrell and myself. If anyone knows of an Olympic swimmer that I've missed, please let me know. Thanks.....
Richard Schroeder was in Hawaii and at Worlds
Rowdy, Josh Davis & Dara swam at Indy and at Worlds
Vlad Pyshnenko worlds and i'm guessing quite a few more masters Olympians from other countries.
