This is something I have been wondering about for a while. To the swimmers that are REALLY Fast, like top 10 national times...were you always fast or did it come later in life? If it came later, how did you get so fast, was it great coaching or just working hard on your own. I was thinking about this because many people are born fast runners ( I am not one of them )I was wondering if swimming is sort of the same. Thanks
I started competitive swimming at 14,which age groupers consider pretty late,and have been swimming in meets ever since. Even though I swam in college I was at best a middling swimmer then. I did my fastest times in my early 30s. I'm slower now than I was then(I'm 57) but the trick is to get slower slowly.
