Age 80+ Swimming

Not sure if this has been a forum topic in the past. but I searched and didn't find anything.

It might be interesting for those of us who are eighty and older to discuss the special challenges and issues that we face as Masters swimmers.

What do you folks think?

Here's one negative: when you go to a local competition, there is almost nobody in your event/age group.

Mostly true except for those in Florida or maybe California and Arizona but you might win most of all of your events. Plus pay attention to the current top times list for your age group/gender. That’s where most of your competition resides.
