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.

Wow, the Colonies Zone is very generous, giving medals for 16th place finishes. Do those come in pink and purple?
You can tell me when you get to taste them and look down your nose at the ribbon.
:laugh2:
I got another one for swimming the Hudson...I might wear it to the Sprint and have photos taken with it. Sign autographs and such...why not?
I'm just chuffed that you manage to make a thread called Olympan Masters all about me. Thanks ;)
