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!!!!!
A part of me thinks this is real cool to be swimming at that age, but a part also wishes for some to pick shorter events (especially as my mile was just kicking off after 9pm at Mt. Hood).:drown:
They had the right idea by doing "swim thru" heats but he entered WAY too fast! If he had put an accurate time and they had swum 2-3 more heats while he was churning away, it would not have delayed the meet.
But such swims are part of Masters, for better or for worse.
