I have a question about world records and non-textile suits

I'm not as worried about masters records, because as younger faster swimmers age up, records will continue to fall. Especially if swimmers (who trained and competed at elite levels into their mid to late 30's and even early 40's) take up masters swimming, they should be able to easily obliterate masters records. I bet in a decade or 2 we're likely to see a 50 year old break 20 in the 50 free & 45 in the 100. Rowdy Gaines went 46.90 in the 100 free at USMS SCYNats in a rubber suit last year. I believe his best time in college was a 42 low for the 100. I'd wager that Ande's prediction is almost a given. If one expects a 5 second increase given a 30 year span, Nathan Adrian has a pretty good chance (assuming he stays in shape and swims).
