I feel a bit strange about all this recognition
I hope you don't mind being a walking advertisement for Master's swimming and exercise in general. Like most billboards, you weren't given much choice, but you do the job well.
Your swims at nationals were impressive but I think you have shown people what can be done and this is the big attention draw. Some of the older age groups might become a lot faster now that age isn't a good excuse for not swimming fast, and maybe someone half your age might be thinking they need to train a little harder because they are tried of being beaten by a 65 yo.
And I am probably not the only one thinking this :)
