Hi All,
As a 53 male what would be the expected % drop off for the following distances.
starting with 25m single length as the base
then 50m
then 100m
then 200m
Thank you
You can use the Virginia Ratings Calculator to answer this question:
www.vaswim.org/.../rcalc.cgi
Pick an event and course (there are no 25s since those aren't official events) then switch from "time" to "rating." A rating of 100 corresponds to a record-caliber swim, so use smaller numbers if you like. Then calculate the time for different ages. The percent increase tends to increase with age.
I have also created an Excel file to do these calculations.
www.vaswim.org/RatingCalculator.xlsx
Use the second worksheet (the tab is labeled "Swim Converter"). The converter is not the usual sort since it can convert between ages, which is exactly what you want. The answers from the Excel file won't be exactly the same as the CGI page since I updated the curve coefficients for the spreadsheet but haven't done so for the website.
Hello and thanks for this information. I would like to start using age graded results, but was unable to pull up this second excel file. Maybe because I have a Mac and only have "numbers" not excel.
