Re: Is it possible that swimming is a big reason for TD's longevity?
No.
What he did in his teen years is irrelevant to his longevity now.
being in shape and keeping in shape takes dedication and hard work every day.

If he still swims seriously and regularly, I think it could be relevant. Swimmers age slowly, from my experience. My neighbor is a 60 year old swimming professor (yes, they exist); dude looks 45, tops. It is, of course, staying in shape like you say; swimming just seems to be a great way to do it.

fundamentals. doesnt rely heavily on athleticism.
Re: Is it possible that swimming is a big reason for TD's longevity?
Look at Michael Phelps. He has been swimming since age 7. He just finished a swim meet in SA where he knocked down this years best times. He is now 30 and planning on the summer Olympics at 31. Swimming is good for working out for the average person. So I think Timmy did benefit from swimming while he was young.
Re: Is it possible that swimming is a big reason for TD's longevity?
He probably swims as part of his workout. Not just when he was young. If he stopped swimming two decades ago? No, it doesn't matter.
