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.
If you do the same thing with LCM times, the number is quite a bit less.
Other wide multi-second gappers include:
Rick Colella, 63, 59:04
Lee Childs, 66, 62.89
Jack Groselle, 60, 57.79, was the youngest person who I could find who beat his age.
Thanks Jim. You did, however, miss one in the LCM times...me. I went 1:03.01 (63.01) this summer as a 65 year old.
