Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.

This debate is interesting, and I can empathize with how some of you feel about the fact that she is THAT fast, but there are many reasons beyond just muscle mass.
A person could dope all they want, but that does not give them technical effeciency, especially in the water. Torres program is very in-depth, and very swimming specific. Her meridian strength program recruits a different kind of muscle, muscle that is better adapted to the requirements of swimming; stretching under pressure, precisely what you need in the water. Drugs will never give someone that, it must be earned through years of training.
If grown men and women pursued sprint swimming as their only life goal the minimum age would increase significantly. To the point that you couldn't win the race if you didn't put in the 35+ years.
