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.

No, that is Judy Cornell above the sign. I'm found on the ladder where is says "Here is a picture of the team before they left for Helsinki." I have bare shoulders and thin dress straps, Jody Alderson is behind me in a black jacket. Also, where Mary Freeman is sitting on the deck with black marks under her eyes, I'm sitting in back of her......................totallly scared before my event.
That's Betsy Jordan, San Diego Masters, giving out the medals to the men's backstroke when she was about 16.
