1. # years of masters swimming - 12.3 years
2. age started masters swimming - 30.3
3. # years of age group experience, if applicable, 11 years + 2.5 year college
Note: I was surprised a few years ago when I discovered I had done master longer then age-group.
4. age started age group swimming, if applicable, 10
5. best masters event - 200 ***, closely followed by 200 Fly & 400 IM
6. favorite masters event - like swimming most of the event, for variety.
7. most hated masters event - I like them all 50yd to 5K, not much for open water swimming (done several lake swims and one ocean swim, which was rough/wavy), but too far from the ocean to regularly do them anyway.
Interesting survey and posting for ALL !
