I propose USMS adopt handicap measurements to more equitably compare performances in Masters Swimming.
1. Married ...... deduct one tenth per 50
2. Nagging spouse.... deduct two tenths per 50
3. Each child under the age of 10..... deduct one tenth per 50
4. Work more than 40 hours a week..... deduct one tenth per 50
5. House and car payment stress.... deduct on tenth per vehicle two tenths per house.
6. Travel more than 1 day a week.... one tenth per 50
Note: item 6 can help negate item 2.
In addition.... those of us with more manageable lifestyles need to adjust their times as well.
7. Training more than 4,000 a workout ...... add one tenth per 50
8. Training more than 4 days a week....... add one tenth per 50
9. Born independently wealthy..... add 3 tenths per 50

it's the whining of the 'ground breaking contributors' to swimming 'Magnus von Pounderson', 'Farney McGee' and 'David Wooderson', the non learning on this subject for years, the avoidance for years of gull's corroboration on the subject.
After 'David Wooderson', expect from geek an impersonation like 'Stone MacFarlane':
that's the maximum possible extend of his 'knowledge' for swimming.
