CORRECTED "Peak Age" for swimming fast

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?

  • Depends on what event, what course, and whether you mean fast in practice or fast in meets. Plenty of low hanging fruit left out there!! What's the rush??!!! Oh no! Still must do 200 back and 200 *** to finish my 2008 check off challenge. I wonder if I can double count it, like being registered as of Nov 1st for the next year.....heehee! I guess I will be going to practice on Wednesday after all!
