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.

i'm 36 ,i swam at a swim club as a kid but not competitively,i've remembered all the (nearly all the)moves,strokes.
I've only really swam better since about 4 years ago.I think when your a child you do the strokes as the coach asks but soon get sloppy when trying to beat your friend in the next lane.More discipline and stamina for distance is present definitely when older so i guess that the skies the limit....
