Dara Torres is 40-years-old and this weekend she swam a 100m free at the Mare Nostum tour in Canet, France in a time of 54.61 which is is .19 off her Olympic Bronze in Sydney at age 33.Contrast this to Amanda Weir's 100m free winning time of 56.13 at the Charlotte Ultra Swim; (results), and the fact that Amanda Weir is little more than half-her-age makes the accomplishment even more extraordinary. Here is a Swim News article about the Mare Nostrum event: [Link]
Here is an Yahoo/Eurosport recap on the event that spends the first couple of paragraphs discussing Grant Hackett 400m win; (He is still off his best times), above: [Link]
