So do other people feel diappointed with their times as adult versus as an 18 year old or 20 year old. I understand that I was out of swimming for almost 26 years. And I didn't practice that much during the first 2 years because I was badly out of shape and had to changes jobs and for about 9 months my work didn't workout that much with swimming, only swimming a couple of days at week. I guest we are not that young and many of us who take a very long break from swimming and are middle age are going to be slower. This is workout times according to a pace clock.

I guess Cynthia, after seeing my posts about workout styles that you can guess this is also my recipe for avoiding slowdown.

more intense, better quality, ...I am working harder and swimming more than I did in HS or college.
Don't give up!!

Note, that I took out "...better technique..." from it, because as I practice the recipe under coached workouts in many USMS clubs, I experience less than 10% as being drills, and working on one-on-one in technique in order to add more drills, doesn't make me believing in a breakthrough.
However, in spite of this recipe by Glenn, expect like me, the slowdown: I believe that as we age, the maximal heart rate decreases and the aerobic follows.
I simply don't understand exceptions like Glenn's, Jim's, Laura's, but they are not 'normal' and me I am.
