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.

There are many swimmers who say they were Olympians and are not. I know 3 personally.
Sorta related. There are websites for SF and SEALs that you can report "fakes" to. The group sends someone out to investigate and "deal" with the offender.
I think USMS should too. We could track these 3 down and throw water balloons at them!:rofl:
