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?
I will be 60 in 5 wk.i have been swimming Masters since 25.My best times were at 31,but then we had kids and it messed up my training for awhile.35-46 times stayed about the same.50-59 not much change either(some of the lack of slowing is better technique,some is smarter training,some is Tech suit.)
