hello!! im new to these boards, and was wondering what y'all thought. Most of the time in the Olympics the ages of swimmers seem to be between the early teens to about early 30s. (pardon me if im wrong on this.) Is there some sort of age cap here? it seems that way to me. I am 23, LOVE swimming and still dream about what if i had devoted my time to my olympic dream. what if i started now, would I be at that level. I beleive you are the age u feel u are. its just a number. what do YOU think? :)
I'm not sure what age-ism is. But, there is no cap. I belive Mark Spitz made an attempt to swim a couple of Olympics ago but was unable to keep up with the speedy youngsters.
Of course, this topic demands a foray into the late bloomer philosophy.
