Very hard question to address. Some masters swimmers are former Olympians (or near-Olympians) and/or former Division I collegiate swimmers. They are in a whole other league than most of us (back in the day, I swam for a club team until I was 18, but not in college). How "good" your time is is age-dependent. I don't know how old you are. Also short course times (25 meter pool) are usually faster than long course times because of the additional turn(s). For me: 50 free: usually mid to high 30-aughts (personal best in my current age group 30.37) 100 free: 1:10.90 (only swam once); I did 1:03.59 in 100 yard free, which I think translates to a bit faster Both short course. I'll be 59 years old on Monday. Pretty good for my age, but there are many much faster. For anyone under 40, I'd say a very good 50 meter time is around 28...and 26 would be phenomenal. For 100 meters, if you're under 1:05 that is very good...under a minute for meters is the gold standard...not many are going to get there.

Thank you for sharing. Your time tie in with the little research I have done. The fitter swimmers tend to be closer to the 2,2 ratio which points to conditioning.

Here's a link to the FINA masters top ten listings: archives.fina.org/.../tabulations.php This should give you a good idea of how the top masters swimmers in the world are swimming the 50 and 100 free. thanks a lot!

Thanks for sharing. That is very interesting. I have been calculating a ratio by 100m time devided by 50m time. Mine is 2,27 which seems to be to high ie room for improvement. Some of my training partners are around the 2,24/2,23 mark. Your friend is on 2,21 which is very interesting. Is he very fit? My splits are 33/36

Here is a link to the USMS event rankings database. U can list events as deep as 500 in a given year. You can use it for example to see where a top 30 (or whatever) time is in the 50 for a given year, and compare it to a top 30 time in the 100.www.usms.org/.../toptimes.php

Some times from my partner (because his are closer to yours than mine are). Swum on the same day: 50m free 29.67, 100m free 1:05.60 (splits 31.39/34.21) Swum on the same day, after a training break: 50m free 30.29, 100m free 1:07.99 (splits 32.42/35.57) What were your splits in the 100?

My very first meet back, after a 27 year layoff from the sport, followed by ~2 months of training: 100m Free (SC) 1:10.16 50m Free (SC) :30.52 ratio 2.30 10 more months of hard training later: 100m Free (LC) 1:03.50 50m Free (LC) :28.49 ratio 2.23 frankly, I blew the start on the 100, should have gone ~1:03.25 which would be a ratio of 2.22 The only time I've swam both in a meet since was 100y Free :57.41 50y Free :26.05 ratio: 2.20
