The preliminary Top 10 listings for the 2011 short-course yards season, which ran 6/1/10 - 5/31/11, are now available. Please check for inaccuracies and email Mary Beth Windrath, the National Swims Administrator, with potential corrections BY JULY 30. You can also email me or send me a PM.
This is probably a good time to thank Jim, Chris, Jeff and anyone else who's involved in processing results, coding the database, preparing Top Ten, etc. You guys do a great job and we all appreciate it!
I noticed the times this year are markedly slower in my age group (40-44). Presumably the new suit rules had something to do with it. Based on the preliminary results for 2011, here's a comparison
event 2010 2011 delta
50 free 21.83 22.24 +0.41
100 free 47.98 49.12 +1.14
200 free 1.47.53 1.50.79 +3.26
500 free 4.56.52 5.09.96 +13.44
1000 free 10.45.64 10.50.86 +5.22
1650 free 18.26.46 18.27.70 +1.24
50 back 25.62 26.09 +0.47
100 back 56.09 56.27 +0.18
200 back 2.03.59 2.07.61 +4.02
50 *** 28.27 28.45 +0.18
100 *** 1.02.13 1.02.69 +0.56
200 *** 2.21.70 2.21.15 -0.55
50 fly 23.98 24.36 +0.38
100 fly 53.01 54.12 +1.11
200 fly 2.04.42 2.07.55 +3.13
100 IM 55.38 56.51 +1.13
200 IM 2.02.16 2.07.58 +5.42
400 IM 4.28.05 4.38.94 +10.89
So only the 200 *** was faster this year. Things could change slightly when the final TT is released, but definitely interesting. The 500 free is over 13 seconds slower!!
