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? :)

Here's some stats on age about the entries at the trials. Apologies for the formatting. Line up the headings with the numbers.
It looks like there are many more women than men. 403 to 286. The oldest person is a male and youngest is female. That's pretty typical I think.
>half are still 20 or less. 389 in that category.
I thought there would be more over 25. Just 32 swimmers over 25.
Anyway, I'm a geek for this kind of information. It would be interesting to compare to the last trials.
The vast majority(just over 80%) could be registered as masters.It would be interesting to know how many have ever
swum in a masters meet.
