You know, I've heard a few people say, "this is only masters, it's no big deal."
Yet, as I meet more people I learn about stories of people enjoying the sport, and the years of dedication they've given to swimming. 60+ years old, still healthy, still strong, going 32 for 50 fly... ???!!
Being fast at 20, great, way to go.... Try a lifetime of dedication, that's even greater.
Does master swimming really prolong life?
Does it help us enjoy life more?
Does swimming 50 crawl or doing 32 for 50 fly at 60+ mean anything?
"Yes" to all those questions.
That's not to say that masters swimming is the be-all and end-all, and it isn't for everybody. There are many ways to be healthy and happy; this just happens to be one of them.
