Running from April 4th through April 9th the staff at\u00a0<em>Swimming World<\/em>\u00a0will be shining a spotlight on the accomplishments of our Top 12 World Masters Swimmers of the Year, along with a special spotlight on the runners-up on the 10th.<\/p>\n<h3>David Guthrie, USA (55-59)<\/h3>\n<p>Six years after he retired from competitive swimming, David Guthrie was lured back into the pool\u2014but not because of his com- petitive instincts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I completed graduate school at Rice University in 1990 and decided to stay in Texas, it meant facing my first notorious Houston summer,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt was too hot to continue my regular land-based activities, so the pool seemed like a good way to find refuge from the heat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guthrie ended up finding Coach Emmet Hines and H2Ouston Swims. He had left swimming burnt out after Olympic Trials in 1984, but in Houston, he quickly learned to approach the sport dif- ferently than he ever had before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took a little time to get over my dread of the monotonous black line,\u201d he said, \u201cbut Emmet gave me room to work through the negative emotions and allowed me to approach training on my own terms. With this new sense of agency and self-determination, the unpleasant memories quickly dissolved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just a few weeks into his new swimming career, Guthrie went to USMS Nationals at The Woodlands, where he says he \u201chad a blast,\u201d narrowly missing his best times from his prior career. He kept com- peting and now regularly supplements Masters meets with USA Swimming Sectionals and Texas Senior Circuits.<\/p>\n<p>This past season, he set five 55-59 Masters world records in breaststroke events: LC\u201450-200 (30.65, 2:30.63); SC\u201450-100- 200 (30.41, 1:07.25, 2:27.00).<\/p>\n<p>He trains much less than he used to train\u2014about 45 minutes per day and a little more on weekends\u2014and he hasn\u2019t counted his yard- age in years, but racing feels just about the same.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest revelation is that there is little difference,\u201d he said. \u201cThe thrills, pressure, challenges and adrenaline\u2014the effort and ex- perience\u2014all still feel just as intense now as when I swam at my biggest meets as a young swimmer. Competition is competition. Preparation is still preparation. And execution is even more precise and rehearsed than ever.\u201d \u2014D.R.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><script src=\"https:\/\/ads.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/absolutebm.aspx?b=1234\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Lawrence Day, USA (65-69)<\/h3>\n<p>After suffering a heart attack years ago, it didn\u2019t take long for Lawrence Day\u2014better known as Larry\u2014to set his sights on a return to competitive swimming. Still, there were plenty of moments\u2014 months, even\u2014of doubt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt felt like a gift from God,\u201d he said. \u201cMy faith, wife, family and physicians carried me through months of doubt. Prayer and careful, controlled, evenly-paced aerobic training brought me back, slowly but surely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Come USMS Long Course Nationals in 2011, Day was back and set two world records in the men\u2019s 60-64 age group. This past sea- son, he finished with six more in the 65-69 age group: LC\u2014100-200 fly (1:06.53, 2:33.40), 400 IM (5:40.43); SC\u2014100-200 fly (1:05.37, 2:27.25), 200 IM (2:30.96).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s fun to use records as goal benchmarks, and a thrill to break them, but the real benefit of swimming is the quality of health it brings. It relaxes me, and I feel good after practice. It\u2019s like physi- cal meditation. Swimming is the closest exercise to the \u2018fountain of youth\u2019 you\u2019ll ever find,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>A lifelong swimmer and University of Michigan man, Day com- peted for the Wolverines from 1969 to 1973. He also coached high school in the 1980s and 1990s, and created the PACE PAL, an under- water pace clock that allows swimmers to see their times while train- ing. He uses it extensively in his own training\u2014six days a week, sprint-focused and dryland-inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not lift weights, but am a big believer in physical therapy and stretch bands,\u201d he said. \u201cThe (bands) are strategically placed throughout our house to encourage spontaneous use throughout the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Day sees no end to his swimming career in sight, not after it was almost forced from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no guarantee swimming or any sport will extend the quantity of your life, but it certainly increases the quality of life for me,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving almost lost that quality from a heart attack, I have no problem staying motivated to preserve vitality through consistent swimming.\u201d \u2014D.R.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016 Top 12 World Masters Swimmers of the Year Sponsored by\u00a0SwimSpray Swimming World Magazine\u00a0has been recognizing the Top 12 World Masters Swimmers of the Year for the last 13 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":250100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,16],"tags":[14942,14940,61095,54417],"class_list":["post-250718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-swimming-world-magazine","tag-david-guthrie","tag-lawrence-day","tag-masters-swimmers","tag-swimming-world-magazine"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
