Why are there very few Masters Swimmers under 40?

I was wondering why there are so few Masters Swimmers under 40. I've visited multiple swim clubs and noticed very few swimmers under 40.

  • For many high school and college swimmers, they can't wait for swimming to be over. I think you’re right and that is sad. Perhaps it speaks to the training regimen these swimmers are asked to undergo, which in some cases may be beyond what is necessary for success, and crosses the line into severe overtraining.
