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.

Donna,
In all my searching for Olympic Swimmers, I have yet to come across a roster of alternates. Could you please provide me with a link to any site with this information? I would love to have information on all of our alternates.
Also, 63.241.144.244/.../Default.aspx has a good listing of 680+ Olympic Swimmers, with accomplishments and photos.
Rob:
Great link. However they list the swimmer from the state of there birth and not actually where they swam. I thought there was swimmers missing until I figured that out.
