It appears that Swimming World came out with the first Top 12 World Masters Swimmers.
Seems a little strange that there are only 2 people under the age of 50 on this list. Is there an age requirement here that we don't know about?
Where is the Evil Paul Smith's name on this list? He sets at least one National or World Record almost every year.
John Smith

Thanks Jim, it was a pleasure meeting you and your family! And what you modestly fail to mention is that you broke several meet records on your way to those red ribbons. You just had the misfortune of swimming in the same age group as a guy who broke the records by a little more than you did!
My coach (Susan; not sure who you mean by Rebecca?) hasn't ever posted on the forums, but she's a world-class triathlete and perennial Top Ten swimmer.
