Hey not my fault the M11 was closed due to a jack-knifed HGV and the normal 1.5hr journey took 4.5hrs....:mad:

Besides it made no difference overall, I still swam a PB, despite swimming in heat 1 with some members of Age Group J :D :cool:

Oh and I'm a proper master now at the grand old age of 25 :eek:

[Unfit]

it doesn't mean you're not a swimmer; it's just a ranking think based on how many posts you do. after 10 it changes; then 50; 100; etc. after a while, you get olympic champion!! of course, you can always change it in your profile, but it's cool to see your "ranking" get better and better :D

[Dreama]

Aaahhhhh!!! Poor Steve ;)

[swimmer]

ahhh im getting old, 17 on this saturday (the 8th) i am genually scared, coz 16 still sounds young and 17 sounds so old, n i have always wanted to be 16 and stay 16 forever. I guess this is the age when you start hating birthdays!

[Bazza]

What are you on about? At 16 you can't drink or drive (note you should never do both at the same time).

[swimusa]

In the US you can drive at 16, but can't drink (legally) til 21. Oh and thanks Emma. I turn 23 on the 6th and now you're making me feel old :(

[swimmer]

sorry swimusa! :) yeh but at 16 its fun coz u can't legally drink/get into clubs etc so wen you do, you feel :) i guess tho when i'm 18 it will be better coz i won't need to worry about maby not getting in - except of course if its an over 21 place! grr! happy birthday swimusa for the 6th, sorry i was just being :( that day but feeling much better now as i see all the oppertunities i will get. :)

[Katie]

My birthday on the 9th!!! Nearly twins emma, just... not

Tell me about it mate.

The next oldest swimmer behind me ( apart from the forums' very own Bootie (http://www.swimclub.co.uk/forum/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=413) - who's very very old! ) is 20.

[super_fish88]

The oldest swimmer in my club is 32.

[swimusa]

I swim masters...you swim from 19 til death

[Bootie]

:cool: Masters Swimming:cool:

[Unfit]

the oldest swimmer in my (masters) club is 86 - so that makes me feel really young at 26! i hope i'm still training at that age!

[Bogbloke]

we have the north eastern masters here at scarborough


but im still too young to be a master yet
lol

[swimusa]

At the meet I was just at over the weekend, they honored a 90 year old man as the oldest living Maryland Masters swimmer, and I am simply amazed.

[super_fish88]

90? And he still swims? That's pretty impressive!

[mad4it]

im 15 / f / stonehaven ( up in the north of scotland just south of aberdeen for all u ppl who have never been 2 the wonderful COLD place - how much i would die to live in Gold Coast, Oz!)
the oldest swimmer in my club is 21, in my squad @ westhill though it is 19.
90???????? OMG that is old!can he actually swim lots of lengths though? (altho my life ambition is 2 b in a swimming pool and b able to swim 25m on my 94th birthday - do u think i will manage??!)

[super_fish88]

Why your 94th?

[swimmer]

yeh that's what i was wondering too!

[chris_lamb]

The oldest swimmer in the Southern Counties Long Course Masters last year was in the 85+ category, and she did 200m in just over 5 minutes.

[swimmer]

WOW!

[swimusa]

Good for her!

[Bazza]

If you go on the FINA website, go to the 'Records' link and click on 'Masters World Records', there is a guy called Tom Lane who did 50m and 100m free and 50m back in 1995. In the 100-104 years age group.

He went 2.02 for the back but only 2.06 for the free, and 4.32 for the 100. Longcourse he went 2.05 for 50m free and back, 4.25 for 100 free and 4.57 for 100 back.

For the women, an American called Mary Maina swam 50m free longcourse in 5.10.84 in 1994!

[ktcute]

I can't feel old at 28. I was but now I'm refusing to. There is far too much life to be enjoyed. Age isn't even a mental thing, its an "other people's" preconceptions thing.

Tell me that when I get the next varicose vein ok. :)
