46-year-old Gabby Rose made the semi-final of the 100 breast at the 2024 US Olympic Trials after a long hiatus from competitive swimming. After competing in the 1996 and 2000 Olympics, Rose last swam at the US Olympic Trials in 2004.
When asked about what she thinks of being the oldest competitor at these Trials, Gabby hoped that others, particularly women, might see her and realize that they can be stronger and more active than they think they can be.
Is it inappropriate for a 49 year old coach to have a crush on a swimmer at Olympic Trials? Asking for a friend.
Her swim looked so smooth and so beautiful. Wonderful!
I’d be very interested in hearing more about her training regimen. She’s looking and swimming incredibly well!
10th overall is incredible.
I hope she’s at Trials at 50. Hell yeah.
She’s such a thoughtful, positive person. What a treat to see that swim this morning.
She is such a wonderful embassidor for life long swimming and taking care of yourself. Good luck tonight!
For me (and I understand this isn’t true for everybody) Gabby’ swim is as impressive as Gretchen’s. Have any of you tried to get in the water again at that advanced age? I tried at age 55 and I was stunned to see that I couldn’t beat the 10-year-old me! And I was a person who lifted weights and was in pretty good cardiovascular condition. Maybe if I had stuck with a lot longer , it I could’ve beaten my 10 year old self. I am much closer to my peak strength in the gym lifting weights. I can lift about 60% of what I could at my strongest. But swimming again was the most humbling thing I ever tried!
Well, swam 50 yard breaststroke the same time as I did as a 12 year old when I was 45. Took some more time from age 47 to 59, even more slower at age 67.
They are trying to get grown up swimming which is even more laidback than masters. Its mainly back east in Georgia, PA or upstate New York or Florida but it looks like Orange County California is going to start it in California. 25 and 50 races, so people don’t have to be in great shape to do 100’s and 200’s.
Grown Up Swimming is actually in over 20 locations nationwide now. It has all the fun of summer league swimming and shorter events for adults. Some of my former college teammates and I joined a few years ago. We have a blast.
