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.

For those of you interested in Swimming History..........go to Youtube and search for "Broad Ripple Pool". There is a video there of the 1952 Women's Olympic Trials and the 1953 Mens Nationals. Interesting to see Ford Konno swim with such a beautiful stroke and check out the lane lines!
That is awesome! I'm really impressed with the work ISHOF is doiing these days.
The video's a little rough, but if I had to guess I'd say you're the one in the front row during the plane boarding shot, just behind the "out" in Lookout Helsinki. Am I right? If not, which one are you?
