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.
Another way to "swim your age":
age x 100 free (on some interval)
Who is the oldest person to do it?
This Sunday 10/26/2014, to celebrate his 80th birthday, Bill Lauer will try it. 80 x 100. I don't know the interval, or if he'll take any rests. UTK student aquatic center.
Bill is a tough guy. He won World Championships this summer in M 80-84 100 fly, 200 fly, 400 free, and 400 IM. If anyone can do it, Bill can.
