Well, Connie I don't worry about competing against the 20 year old that could do 1:17 to 1:19 breaststokes and 1:07 to 1:09 100 yard butterflys, anymore. I took off too many years and unlike some swimmers my body was unable to get back where it was as a youth and when I first started back even my freestyle felt weird breathing on the side and my breaststroke was the scissors kick. I usually train under 3,000 yards for 4 times a week. My 46 year old body can't take more. And contrary to what some have stated their were medocre swimmers in their youth that sometimes can be beaten by late starters.
