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? :)

Statistically speaking it is extraordinarily difficult to place 1st or 2nd in any swimming event at the US Trials. Think of the thousands of great college swimmers, age group swimmers and US Masters swimmers who are fractions of a second behind the pace. To go to the Olympic Games as a US Swimmer is as tough and competitive as it gets…..anywhere…anyplace….any sport….any time….
