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.

Anyone with a bit of internet know-how would sooner or later uncover information or articles which confirm or deny facts from fiction.
Islandsox has been competitively swimming since age eleven, has held several world records in the backstroke, as well as state records, and has been ranked top ten in USMS. She was an ex-Olympian (alternate).
I hope she's just taking a vacation for while ...or out for an 18 mile swim.
This thread which started out very light hearted somehow turned into the mosh pit during the light of the full moon this past week.
