The times and physiques of some of our older swimmers is amazing. After seeing the decline in my own power and strength in the past 10 years, I wonder if Masters has to begin worrying about the use of performance enhancing supplements like HGH.
Many masters have the financial resources to afford something like Cenegenics at $30,000 per year to be "young" again.
I don't have any clean and simple solutions - just wondering if there are others who are wondering the same thing I am.
When Rob Butcher said that masters should keep the tech suits because masters swimmer's muscles "need" the compression, does that open the door to allowing anything else that we "need?"

I think there is more information easily accessible about how to stay fit, gain muscle, and improve your stoke available now then ever before. There are also a lot of legal performance enhancing supplements that some might use such as sodium bicarbonate, creatine, caffeine, and ginsing. I doubt many would use illegal supplements for masters swimming but there could be a few.
