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 don't know about luck having anything to do with it. Somewhere out there on the left Coast, our good friend Popeye is downing another can of spinach and probabaly giving this some consideration. Frankly, I think he'd have an interesting take on the matter. :)
In my opinion the Games will only be that much more exciting seeing a thirty something going up on the blocks against a twenty year old. There's a doctor in the New Jersey area (Ron Karnaugh/ Garden State Masters) who intends to swim for his homeland, Poland. He's in the 35 year old age group for masters competitions. It will certainly be very interesting to see age defying performances from someone who's supposed to be past their prime.
