Does anyone out there know of a site that gives average times for age groups and maybe some type of calculator to determine what your times may be at a certain age when you input one of your old times from high school or college?????

Yes, age is a factor and many people don't swim at 46 the same times they did at 20 years old. They are a few that have the ability to do that . The national qualifying times will show you how to compare yourself to your age group . At the 45 to 49 age group a 1:25 will in breastroke will make you qualify for women's breaststroke. However, in the age groups from 19 to 39 a 1:18 will qualify for national times. In the age group 50 to 54 for women 50 to 54 it slows down to 1:32 and each age group from there slows down 2 to 5 seconds. A 45 to 49 your old women is similar in times to 11 to 12 year old girls. A 35 to 39 is similar to 15 to 18 year old girls.
