For all of you Swimming and Diving fans, the two of you, myself included:

Did you see this?

NDIANAPOLIS ---- Dara Torres' 15th national title felt no different from her first a quarter-century earlier.

The oldest national champion in U.S. swimming history, Torres set an American record in the 50-meter freestyle Saturday night in her bid toward a possible fifth Olympics appearance.

"It's an awesome feeling," she said. "I can't put words on it to describe how I felt when I touched that wall and saw my time."

Competing in the pool in which she qualified for her first Olympics as a teenager in 1984, two years after her first national championship, the 40-year-old Torres came in at 24.53 seconds, a personal best that beat her American record of 24.63 set in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
