The Fastest Age

Originally posted by mattson Lefty, in the same way I can find your comment "just stupid". Let's say we have two 50 year olds. The first started swimming at age 30, and has been swimming to the present. The second swam for four years in high school, stopped swimming, and only started again last year. Are you saying that the first person, with twenty years of swimming experience, is at a disadvantage compared to the person who only swam 5 years (total)? Sorry Mark, I thought my question was clearer. Let me restate: Two masters swimmers approximately the same age, who have been swimming master for the past 10 years. One of the swimmers swam in his/her youth. Does the youth swimmer not have an advantage? I will take the "stupid" part out of the question, I really am not interested in the personal attacks, but I must admit that I am floored that people do not understand Ion's position. Now his approach, well that is up to debate, but for the record it does not bother me because it really has no baring or place on anything. And also for the record, I don't know the answer to your question, you are adding another variable to my question and it is difficult to answer.
