Why are there more men than woman in masters swimming? Everyone says that women's events always end before the men's events (and thus we have to keep that odd/even rule for pools at nationals). Is this still true? The last meet I attended there were 62 heats of women and 65 of men.
My wife is a Physician and we have three children. She swam in college(pre Title IX) and swam some Masters through Med School and residency(but not as obsessively as I.) When we had kids she stopped competing,but not swimming. Spending the time and mental energy to compete didn't seem a priority to her. Then she hurt her shoulder and started martial arts.She has lately started swimming in meets to "try it out".
