Turned 50 yesterday, so I tried to swim a 50 sec 100 free. The best I could do was 52 with fins. Who has tried this without fins and been able to match their age? I think it's a good challenge. I suppose this feat could be done as early as mid 40's for some, or very few.
How do we do 500's ?
How about five seconds per year of age? Dave Radcliff first made it at age 73 with his 5:57 (73 * 5 = 365 seconds or 6:05).
Make it six seconds per year and it gets a tad easier. Someone 50 would need to swim a 5:00.
