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 know how you feel dreamer, I too have always felt the, what if's. For me I think it stems from the knowlege that these olympians train for a living, not just 5 hours a day (weight lifting, swimming, etc.) but as a way of life. Which is something we have never done, or even come close to, so we often wounder "what if we did just that." Its a thought many of us have pondered. But in reality these people have an extrodinary gift as well as an extreame Determination that seperates the people who make the trails, and the people who make the team.
