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.

  • It is such a shame that the mindset of people is "Guilty until proved innocent" rather than "Innocent until proven guilty". I am 46 years old and though I am not an elite swimmer like Dara, she has shown me there is no reason I can't tie or beat my times as a kid. In one season with the right coach I have gone from breaking 30 for the 50 Free and going 27.83 lead off on a relay at Nationals this spring. I am only 1.84 seconds off my best time which I did back in 1980. My goal is to make it this year. Training techniques have changed since my old days several little changes have really made such a difference. Innocent until proven guilty!
