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 know the older age groups are tougher and it looks like you put in a lot of work for the calculator -- but I just don't think it works even for our age group. Here is a look at all the 200 distances in our age group. Your record rating is compared to FINA points.
200 Free -- 1:55.67 = 750 points
200 *** -- 2:25.71 = 691 points
200 Back -- 2:10.88 = 683 points
200 Fly -- 2:07.17 = 717 points
200 IM -- 2:12.20 = 697 points
The 200 Free and 200 Back for example are just not equal --- about a 2:07 in the 200 Back should be the same as 1:55.6.
