I'm a male, 36. How well does a 1:20 in the 100 freestyle compare to others in the same age group? I'd like to know how far off I am from being able to hang in a masters meet. Never swam in school or had coaching, took up swimming as a religion in October.

I recently learned that Masters swimming is competitive but fun and camaraderie are the most important elements. I was a competitive swimmer from age 5 to 19 and then stopped swimming completely until a month ago. I was doing 59 secs in 100m LC at the age of 12 now i can barely float (remember Im starting again) but am having the time of my life.
My club practices at 5am and I havent missed a practice. im hooked again for the fun and camaraderie and in a distant third is the times.
Have fun
