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?

At age 65, I swam 2 1/2 sec faster in the 100 BR at Federal Way (1:12.7) than I did while competing in college. I'm looking to get close to 1:10 when I turn 70. I, for one, don't believe in aging, apart from getting more experienced and finding better wines.
