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.

I joined the Winskill Otters, three years ago, paid $300.00 for the first quarter. I went to the first workout had a hot tub and watched the workout. The night was kool, one week later went to Mexico. The next year I called the secretay of the club and asked if I could use that money to start again. She said yes by all means. I went to the club social had a good time and won the door prize. We left for Mexico again.
I really prefer the hot tub over swimming. But don't get me wrong this is the start of a new age group for me this year I swim???
