        How old is Sarah Hardcastle?  I know this is a "comeback"
attempt, but she retired young.  I met her in St. Petersburg, FL, when
she was an assistant coach with a British team that featured Adrian
Moorhouse (Seoul 100 ***stroke gold medalist, former world record
holder (do you realize he swam 1:01.49 for the 100 ***stroke 3 times?)
But I'd have to guess Sarah is 25-26 years old.
