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.

I hate to say this Gail but Jane could be wrong and I do not think you should mention this until you talk to everyone on the team. Every Olympic and International event where a Canadian was involved they gave a book to each member of the team listing their names when I competed.
The 1954 Empire games team, I have a picture of the whole swim team and half the people there I remember the other half you could ask me about them, and I could not say who they were.
Jane Swaggerty Hill was contacted twice about Donna's credentials. Jane stated that Donna was not on the team with her, not at the trials, not at the Nationals and not at the Santa Clara Swim Club. Jane has never heard of her.
