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.

I know of several alternates to the Olympic Team in 1968; two of us are still swimming, but don't know about Dashelle Stein or Carter Schillig.
The USOC never chooses alternates. If they had to, they would move the next qualifier up from the trials results.
I don't see those two names (mentioned above) in the 1968 Trials results (from the link that Skip provided). Back then, would they have chosen alternates from a meet other than Trials?
