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 swam my fastest times so far in my life when I was 20, in college. But I didn't train year round then and we did crushing amounts of yardage, so I was tired all the time and sick often. I'm within 6% of my PR's now at 47, and am still seeing time drops. I'm refusing to take the poll until I start to slow down.
