I think you are right, I have never been clear. Basically I agree with you but downplay the role of V02Max. I think it might be one very insignificant factor. I prefer to look ahead and feel training and hard work NOW represent the path to success, not dwelling on things I can no longer control (i.e. - the age I started swimming).
Ion - based on what I've heard, your sorry technique is a bigger impediment than V02Max but you can tell yourself any story you want to feel better.
