The Fastest Age

This thread certainly does have the keys a tappin' Just curious, but does anyone out there think the motor learning and motor control aspect plays a part in the development of a swimmer? And does this ability to retrieve (as in feed forward) play a part in the subsequent ability of the swimmer after a significant time away from the sport? And what about a person who developed an excellent training regime in another sport during their developing years (as in youth), that challenged all energy systems and took up swimming later in life. Do you think the training effect --- dare I say V02Max, --- can aid the person to adapt and train well in a new sport? Any thoughts?
