The above calculations use the swimming age factors in Table 3 in Fair (2004). They are based on pooling all the swimming events over 100 meters or 100 yards for women. The age factors in the 90s and possible in the 80s are not very reliable because they are based on small samples for women. See the discussion in the paper. The age factors are: |
Age | Factor | Age | Factor | Age | Factor |
35 | 1.000 | 60 | 1.202 | 85 | 1.909 |
36 | 1.002 | 61 | 1.218 | 86 | 1.956 |
