Does anyone know a woman who was able to swim at their top form after she had a child? In running, Marion Jones was able to come back in international form after giving birth. I was just wondering if swimmers are able to do this yet. This woman doesn't have to be an Internationally ranked swimmer as well.
I was thinking about this after a girl I knew was going to go under 5 minutes in the 500 free but she got pregnant in high school and she never got back to her top form. Where else could I ask this question than the USMS discussion board.

aquageek.. I took the thread to be serious racing swimming training like Olympics teams. 4 or more hours a day.. . Not USMS ...I have swam with lots of lots of masters swimmers.. Its exercise and fun.. No problem with that after the babys born and things are settled down. Of course a mother can swim with USMS , its the best exercise there is.
Just because we are USMS swimmers doesn't mean we aren't serious racers or take our sport seriously.
