Does anyone know a thread or a website where I could get a better idea of what older and not former competitively trained swimmers are doing time-wise?
It seems to always be the winning times which are posted. I was looking at the USA Swimming Times, at the oldest age (50) and the lowest category (B) and the guy was STILL doing a 20min 1650!!
I'm 58, 6'1" (6'4" arm span) 180lbs. And I'm forever stuck at a 29-30 minute mile.
I know that if I was training with Masters I would do better, but they are too far away. (Money is being raised for a YMCA, so that could change)
I'd love to know what average times older swimmers who have taken up swimming AFTER college (no previous team experience), but have a passion for the sport are achieving.
Thanks

But I only had to drop down 19 places (in men's 55-59) to find a 29min 1650 like mine! :applaud:
Paul, you may want to keep in mind that if you are viewing the SCY rankings for the 2011-2012 season, you won't see a very complete picture yet. The majority of SCY meets take place in the spring; the season ends on May 31st.
To get an idea of what the rankings will look like at the end of the season, perform the same search for the 2010-2011 season. You'll see a lot more names in the list.
