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.

that can be a positive for someone like me who has spent my life without a fast twitch muscle in my body. But I've always been good for the long haul (In the tortoise with the hare) Now I come in the top 3 in any heat I swim in. For competition I swim with people younger than me!
