I've been researching a little bit and one of my favorite pass-times as a child was swimming which I learned the breast stroke (my favorite stroke) at the age of three. I've swam occasionally all my life but I've never took it up as anything more then a little fun but I've got a strong natural talent for it and a good feel of the water and I'm thinking of taking it up as a full-time sport and dedicating most of the immense amount of spare-time I have to swimming.I've spent the last day or two researching Michael Phelps and I've done a good comparison to my own body and Michael's body and we have near-exact similar bodies if he was my age. (The difference being that my legs are longer and I probably have nowhere near the same Lactate levels, Ha-ha!)The only thing I'm worried about is that I'm currently fifteen (Sixteen in september) and have never joined a club nor have I ever swam competitively before other then carnivals at school. Am I too old to take up swimming and expect anything more then a spot on the school team and has there been any other late-bloomers in sports who have done well to succeed? Thanks.
