Extra marital affairs in masters swimming have happened and will continue to happen. When two people share a common interest and spend time together, bonding takes place and sometimes emotional and physical affairs result. There's plenty of opportunity around training and even more at meets & conventions.
Sometimes these affairs are just one night drunken flings. Sometimes they are long term.
Did your affair help your swimming or hurt it?
Did it add extra stress to your life?
How did you deal with all the emotions from it?
How did it start? How did it end? When did it change?

That reminds me of an awkward moment...not as a masters swimmer though.
I think it was around summer 1983, Westchester County Championships in RYE, NY. I was walking on the deck in my speedo and felt someone pinch me. I turned and saw a vision...Regina (leave out last name), catholic school girl who swam on my AAU winter team, and was a year older than I. I was 15 but still a bit shy around girls, especially older ones.
Had I known then what I know now...
I guess it's not limited to masters.
