![]() There certainly are, and I'm not one of them. An interesting thing to do with the USMS ranking, that can't be done with the GB ones as far as I know, is to select a range of age groups. I am most interested obviously in my age group and the ones immediately above and below and so I selected the range from 70 to 84. The fastest is the amazing David Radcliff, aged 77, with a time of 21:50.23, and perhaps equally impressive is Graham Johnston, aged 80, who ranks fifth with 25:10.41. Mind you, it would be hard to say which is more impressive. I think both are world record holders..

I know you have the same experience. I am just bringing it up to encourage people to do some swim meets.

![]() I am going to a Masters swim meet later in January. My approach will be Grant's mantra, swim with ease at the speed I choose. I swam in one last year with less than a year total experience, I could only do the breast stroke at that time, and placed first in my event. Here is the catch, age group and not a big crowd equals victory! The comaraderie is outstanding.

Others are the opposite and swim faster in open water because they are less efficient at turns and push off so benefit from the long swim. There can also be variations based on tidal movements and wet suit advantages. |

![]() Do you have any more information on the meet? I am looking to travel to a meet in an area that I haven't visited.
