Adult-onset swimmers can outperform elite athletes in other disciplines in swimming due to superior technical efficiency.

“because he's so efficient he actually swim at the same velocity with almost 25% less oxygen consumption than the best Tri in the world is doing and that is a a little bit of little bit mindboggling but it just tells how important also efficiency or movement efficiency is into this whole equation as well”

“I came to swimming late in life I'm an adult onset swimmer so I didn't swim until I was 31 years old this is almost 20 years ago and it never ceased to amaze me even when I was at my absolute fittest on the bike when I when my V2 Max was more than 5 L how people with seemingly such a lack of Fitness could destroy me in a swimming pool”
