Are their A,B,C times in Masters? Just curious, as to what would be respectable long-term and short-term goals would be for the 50, 100, and 200 free.
I am 32 and have taken a 15 year hiatus from competitive swimming. I have been back for about a month now, and am starting to get back my rhythm and some stamina. Without doing flip turns or going from the starting blocks I am averaging (60 to 75 % of max) about 1:20 to 1:30 (up to even 1:40 by the end of the week) for 15 X 100yds and 30 seconds to a minute rest (depending on how late in the week my workout is). I know I have a long way to go, but would appreciate any advice on some realistic goals for just getting back in the groove.
Thanks in advance.

Well, we don't have A,B and C like age group. THe best way to compared yourself in your age group is to look up the various nationals and looke up the qualifying times. Also, look up the world masters meet which in masters is slower than nationals times unlike what it is in senior swimming. In nationals I made 2 meter breaststroke times. In the worlds I made 3 breaststroke times and 1 freeestyle time.
