Is there swimming after the age of fifty?

I'm looking for a site for people who love swimming, are good swimmers but do not want to do competition swimming, especially a site that includes discussions by people over fifty.... I think you will find a lot of what you are looking for here. I like going to local meets and participating, but I don't really qualify as a "competitive swimmer". I just do it because it is fun. There are lots of threads on this forum that do not have a focus of competitive swimming. Feel free to stat your own. Asking questions is a good start. I'm 51 now, but most days I feel at least 10 years older due to a debilitating arthritic condition. In 1994 I could not lift my arms out of the water, nor lift my elbows above my shoulders. Since then I've done a 200 fly and 400IM (legally, in competition, again, just for fun... and bragging rights). Most of my recovered mobility is from swimming. While my endurance is off now, my technique is still good. I still swim fly. You will find all sorts of swimmers here. I find this to be a well balanced BBS, with a lot of good information. Welcome. :)
