Take a look at the finishing times: yes, my father was the last finisher out of 18 entrants, with one DNF -- but not by much. He came in just seven seconds behind the previous finisher. Actually, I think that helped him: he was able to just follow the other swimmer in, which is a huge psychological boost.
You'll also note that my father came in FIRST in his age class.
