Is it possible for me to break 52sec in the 100m free?

I am a senior and have never swam before, but I have been doing the pre season workouts for 2 weeks now and can swim a 59sec 100. I did this in a drag suit with very bad flip turns. How much time do you think I could take off if I didn't wear a drag suit and had decent flip turns?

  • Are you sure it's meters and not yards? Assuming your season ends around the end of February that leaves you with about four months to drop 7-8 seconds (to break 52). It's not impossible, as evidence by the swimmer in the article below. However, drops this significant are not common in such a short time span. swimswam.com/.../
