    There are plenty of sports where being a teenager gives you an advantage over adults. A teen isn’t a 5 year old. Per data, I’m correct.

      Swimming is not one of them for fucking sake.

      Are you done dancing around rethoric arguments to avoid saying that you were wrong?

      Comparing the performance of a non specialized teenager swimmer with that of a specialized adult woman in peak adult performance is a shitty comparison.

      This is a fact that can be easily confirmed if you do 10 seconds of research and you check swimming records by age category.

      It’s fine, you used as source an article that made this claim based on shitty data, you have been shown that the data was shitty. The mature thing to do is to say “OK, that was a false claim”.
