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.
I'm 24 and this statement offends me. I'm not popping out children and I don't believe that's what people think they are supposed to do when they are 25. None of my friends my age are married, and none have kids. They don't swim because they don't want to. Some gained too much weight and didn't want to get back, some peaked when they were 17, some just flat out get sick thinking about swimming anymore. It's most certainly not because all of us age 20-30 are having children. Not all women are baby farms. For that matter, there are plenty of mothers and fathers who are swimming.
WHOA there.....nowhere in my post did I say that people 20-30 are expected to be having children! I'm sorry you are offended. I said it was my experience when I was that age (almost 15 years ago....:thhbbb: ) that women were having children at this age.
