Just a few thoughts....I truly believe that the ability to swim fast is much more dependent on technique, hard work, determination and mental attitude. Technique and Hard work being the most important! We are all Masters swimmers with different levels of experience. To say you are"behind" before you even start if you didn't swim when you were younger is very pesimisitic. Masters is about each individual setting their own goals and not letting comparisons with other swimmers determine their success! VO2Max can be improved at any age with consistent hard work. This is a personal opinion based on years of swimming and coaching.
