Old national caliber swimmers that never come back

Interesting and unfortunate that the vast majority of ex swimmers that made finals at NCAAs or Nationals when they were younger (or even just cuts) do not now participate in Masters Swimming. Only a small handful of these people come to Masters Nationals each year within each age group.
What a good opportunity USMS presents to see old faces and have a good time. I think USMS would benefit tremendously from their knowledge of the sport.

Most are grossly out of shape and have a distaste for the sport. I wouldn't worry about it.

And they're too busy popping out babies. Most of my former collegiate teammates are doing that. One of them tried to make a comeback, but his wife just lost control of her uterus and popped out three babies in three years.
I always thought many of the former greats would appear in Masters swimming. From my era, it's good to see Roque Santos still in action.
