Here's a nice writeup on the masters team in Beaufort, SC: www.beaufortgazette.com/.../5955112p-5242196c.html
I imagine Skip Thompson will remember Coach Fetters.
Anyway, I don't see too many write-ups about masters swimming in the paper, or adult sports in general, so this is good to see!

So the coach is hardly working wonders with his team of committed competitive Masters swimmers.
:rolleyes:
But you have no way of knowing what her swimming background is. If she just took up the sport a few years ago 7:45 is probably a pretty decent time. In any event, I believe the author's point was to show that it's not just fast young bucks. There are plenty of swimmers of retirement age or older who are continuing to compete and set records.
