Does anyone know, anecdotally or otherwise...
What is the high achievement range for a master's swimmer who only started swimming in their early 30's, or late 20's... something like that.
How far were they able to go (I don't mean the distance), but achievement wise...
Anyone competing at top masters levels that hasn't been a competetive swimmer as a kid?
I'd like to hear their stories.

Its long story. I swam as a kid way back in the 1970's. I rarely was in the water for over 23 years. In 1999 I started to workout in a health club twice a week around 1,000 yards. Last summer I notice that I still have a fair breaststroke, so I started to workout around 3 to 4 times a week, once in a while 5 times a week between 2,000 to 3,500 yards in the health club pool and a rec pool during lap swim hours.
