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.

Please, this is no time for modesty! :bump:
LOL, the room is only 10’ x 14’ – but I am in the process of refurnishing it for my mother’s visit over Thanksgiving. Any Olympians who stay here in the future should find it comfortable. Non-Olympians are welcome, too, but we’re already booked full for LC Nationals next summer.
...she's an inspiration. You don't need your name on a piece of paper for proof of that.
You're right, although having your name on a piece of paper - in this case a massive paper trail leading nowhere – does help establish credibility.
Just wondered why is it important to even have a list of Olympian Masters and who really cares.
It is useful for press purposes, and will also be useful for fact checking once it’s in a place where we can easily find it.
