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.

Stud.....there should always be a little "imflamation" just to keep it fun.
Geek...wait till Austin when JS & I take you dow "live" and his favorite Taqueria!
All right, you old has been!
I pm'd Rob, post #156. Now, having taken "home" the flamey stuff, I am going to evict it.
As Paul said, I think the debate over credentials is fine, as long as we move on from the deleted bits and name calling and and focus on the here and now. I prefer that topic to the celebrity swimmer adulation. Although I'm always happy to admire a job/swim/workout well done, whoever is doing it. Met Glenn Mills this weekend. He did a great job and is in prime comeback mode.
