Masters' swimmers have been proving it for years and Dara proved it with an exclamation point in Beijing that you can go faster at 40-something than you did at 20-something. As someone 15 days older than Dara, what I wonder is this: At what age will the aging process take over and, despite whatever training you do (& without resorting to drug enhancements), you will slow down?

50-54. I'm factoring in a faith in humanity's steady improvements in the field of medicine over the next 30 years, but that's the science fiction writer in me talking.
Before that, before that inevitable decline into old age, the peak is whatever age you make it. My god, I sound like a guru. I'm a new swimmer, forgive me if all I see are sunny, turquoise pools and limitless blue skies in my future where I will have optimal conditions to meet the most outrageous of goals. :afraid:
edit: holy cow, I thought my guess was high! :confused:
