What is the oldest swimmer that you have been on a team with, or had the opportunity to coach?
My personal experience: an 81 year old, and let me tell you that he blew almost everyone else out of the water with regard to endurance! He could go on and on forever (not very fast, though).
Definitely interested in hearing others!

Had the pleasure to met and swim with Spanish Bernarda Angulo died 9 December 2009 – 97 years old. Days before she gave an interview to El Pais
www.elpais.com/.../Tes , and participated at the European Championship in Cadiz where she won 50,100, and 200 back.
She was a good example of simplicity and love for the sport.
Hope we have more like her around Master swimming!
Happy new year!
