Saw this article today on The Race Club website. Since we have so many Texas Exes (GO HORNS beat SC!) on here, I was wondering what the opinions were on his comments.

At least good for some gripping discussion, Lord knows we need a good "spirited" discussion on here...

I wonder if that is a numbers game. When you are in your 30's your kids are more apt to be young, and not as much time to train and compete. When you are in your 40's, you may have more time. I started swimming when my youngest was old enough for team. They had open swimming at the same time and it beat sitting around and waiting.
