I will start with breastroke- Gary Marshall(25-29) 1:02 high in the hundred 2:16 in the 200, David Guthrie(45-49) 1:07 in the 100 2:27 in the 200 Robert
Strand(60-64) 33.41 50 *** 1:15 100 ***. Between them 6 world records Marshall 1, Guthrie 2 and Strand 3. There are plenty more so add to the thread!!!!!
Chris Derks 16:32 in the 1500 to set a new WR for 35-39 (Rowdy Gaines had the old one).
I think Jeff Erwin's 16:39 is at least as impressive: he is 6 years older than Derks, and he also set a WR.
How about Noriko Inada: 29.15 in the 50 back, 1:02.83 in the 100 back. Both times would have won the men's events in her age group, the 100 by 4 seconds! In fact, if she were a man she would have had the 3rd fastest 100 OVERALL, finishing just 0.04 behind Jay Yarid. Her underwaters were pretty slick.
