Swimming World's top 12 master swimmers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Former Member
Let the debate begin. I have no problem with the 12 selected, but, 6 and 6 is pretty tough to pick and I have great respect for the process they use. I do think they should try to maybe add the top swim of the year,but, what they have to do, at present, is pretty overwhelming. Some of the runner-ups are pretty awesome. Pull up the Swimming World and download the magazine.What a great honor for all these great swimmers EOM
I think it's very easy to compare swims within the same age division - you can etiher use the FINA points or the US swimming points system.
Then you could simply come of with a fair formula of "decline" (I just hate using the word - but it is what it is).
Yes, that's exactly what we have done, using WRs (SCM, LCM) or USMS records (SCY) to create event/gender-specific "formulas of advancing decrepitude" (is that a better word for you? :)).
