Hmmm, not so sure about that. I'm not in as good shape as I was in college, but I don't think I'm far off. I see plenty of Masters swimmer who are pretty darn fit.
However, I'm certainly not in the same kind of swimming shape. I don't think you can expect to swim as fast when you're training 15,000 yards per week as you did when you were swimming 50,000+. I know I'm not and that's my excuse :D
