Seems inevitable, no? Even though my practice times seem to be pretty consistent with intervals I was able to hold 5 to 7 years ago (mid to early
30's), now that I am 40, my races just seem to get slower. Its an odd scenario to be in. As an age grouper and into college, the older you got, the more you trained, the faster you swam. Now, it seems, mother nature is kicking things in reverse. While I still love to train, I'm finding less incentive to compete.
Anyone else come to this conclusion?

I'm 49 and I am faster than I was at 47. Kinda hoping that trend continues as I age up later this year.
I have no intention of swimming more than I do today. I average 4 times/wk, and always 't like long events anyways).
If you are stuck - I suggest changing your focus. Swim different events - maybe shorter.
