I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of masters swimmers who don’t compete and that have achieved Top Ten Times, American Records, World Records, etc. in practice. I know that stories have circulated around about swimmers like Mark Spitz who have done this (although I think he did compete :)). I was just wondering if there are similar stories in the masters ranks. It seems to me that it would be highly probable in masters swimming because so many of its members do not actually swim at meets. Therefore, I would think there are people out there who achieve these (unofficial) times during a practice session and are relatively unknown. If you’ve got a story to share, please do.

Hehe Ok you get a pass...
Last April I did a CT State meet... all 6 of us turned up I won all my events. I also lost them all!
However pulling my PB on 200 BR then maybe within 5 mins doing the 100 IM...I think I saw Jesus smiling at me in a tunnel of light...but it was someone on deck laughing.
Good good, thanks for letting me slide this time. I had signed up for 4 events each day, with a few back to back to back and had thought that there would be enough ppl and enough heats in between that I would be fine. Let's also keep in mind that it was during my 21st birthday weekend. Actually, I think I only scratched 1 event, the 100fly and I was very upset that I had to scratch it, I really wanted to see how well I could do, but I was dead.
