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? :)

My point exactly. We all seem to only recognize Ron as a masters swimmer and no one else. In spite of the fact that many of them (not all) have competed in USMS meets throughout the years.
I think the answer lies in the frequency of times you've seen Ron at a masters meet compared to the others. Ron has been to many masters meets. Some have been nationals and others more regional. Out of sight, out of mind. If they paid the fee and have a USMS number then they are masters swimmers.
