Do you think this "base" hangs around for 20+ years though? Unfortunately for me, and fortunately for them, my answer is a definite yes. Especially if this base was built at young age, that is while the body is still growing.
Training regiment of this sort leave a permanent footprint.
Of course, not every swimming having swam a lot at early age can expect reaching Ross' level. Other factors such as genetic have their weight too.
I also agree about the importance of staying Master Swimmer specific on such a discussion forum. The reason why I jumped in this thread holding an Elite Swimmer sort of speech is that most if not all articles quoted in the thread pertains to elite level swimming. I am not reacting against these articles anyway, just against the fact that none of them could issue any suggestion in term of what the base should be.
