It's been cool for me over the last few years seeing and competing against a number of guys from both my age group and collegiate days. However, when I think back to my college team, in particular, I'm struck by how many guys are NOT back swimming and competing in Masters. I realize this is probably the wrong audience to ask (since we're back in the pool), but, since for me swimming & competing go hand in hand and I love swimming, I'm still puzzled why more people don't come back to the sport and to racing?

I will be sure not to pass that on to him :) By the way, I am getting faster as I age. I am now, at 39, beating my high school times. Probably not something I want to tell Jeremy to get him to compete, huh?! I guess I wasn't in my "prime" back then though.
You are not alone, and I hope to join you. I hope you are in your prime now, and it continues for another 70 years or so ;)
But what I really meant is that there are a lot of masters swimming faster in later age groups then they did in their earlier age groups as Masters. Some were so fast to begin with that I have accused them of actually getting younger.
