I started swimming again in June after a...um...20-year layoff. I realize that I should expect a pretty big difference between workout times long ago and now, but wondered if I can attribute any of this differenct to the fact that I'm training at 5800 feet. In my USA swimming days, I was at sea level. Does anyone know how to calculate this effect or am I just grasping at straws?

I thought that the NCAA would adjust times swam at altitude.
For example, a swimmers time wasn't fast enought to qualify for nationals, yet since it was swam it at altitude, the cut was made.
Of course, this could be urban myth.
