What's considered a good time for a 50 yard sprint?

To think 6 months ago I was posting here whining about not making it halfway across my 25 yard pool... This morning I pushed it and decided to see how fast I could do a 50 yard sprint (Freestyle). I did it in :42. Is this good? Marian

  • What ever you do now is good for you , knowing where you are coming from. I think orca's got it right. If you couldn't even swim 25 yards without stopping 6 months ago then it's great. Is it fast compared to people who have been swimming for a long time? No, of course not. But you shouldn't be comparing yourself to those people right now.
