I don't think you should let your age stop anything you want to do. Don't put an age limit on your dreams.
Setbacks have an upside; they fuel new dreams.
When I feel like my body is exhausted, I focus on making my fifth Olympic team so I can push through it.
I've always kept my body in shape and I will continue to always keep my body in shape.
Never worry about what anyone else is doing...Just swim your own race.
I'd proven to the world that maturity, experience, dedication, and ingenuity can make up for a little senescence. Muscle tightening is not the only thing that happens to our bodies over time. We gain knowledge, focus, and understanding, and those things can help us win.
