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?

    I have my doubt, if this is possible.

    A little skeptical here. Are you sure that you're actually talking about 100 meters? People who "never swam before" and swim for 2 weeks do not go 59 second 100m swims (yards either), let alone set sights on 52's? Is the pool actually 25 or 50 meters or is it shorter?
