Well, if youth swimming equals being faster explain this. I look at the nationals last year. I could tell this woman in my age group didn't swim as a kid because she swam the 200 meter fly at5:00 but the 200 meter *** at 3:38 and the 100 meter *** at 1:42.6 and the 50 meter *** at 47. I did the 50 meter at 46.12 and the 100 meter at 1:43.31 and the 200 meter at 3:58. So, she who started as an adult was able to swim a 200 meter a lot faster than me. I know that I workout on my own but that youthful VO2 should be there.
