I just recently started swimming because everyone was telling me about how "I have a typical swimmer's body".I tried it - and now can't spend one day without visiting my beloved pool.Anyways, I was wondering ig I am too late for competitive swimming.I am 24 years old, 6'1'', 162 lb., very lean and muscular.I am extremely determined, always have been good in sports(have 5 years of lifting experience).So yeah... That's the deal.I wish my parents got my ass into the pool when I was a kid.Could have been at a good level now.Anyways, what do you think, guys?After two months of swimming I clocked myself on a 100 meter freestyle - 1:25... yeah, I know - leaves a lot to be disired, but I was curious:how quick can you accomplish your time improvements at the start.to shave down 20 sec., say, would that take years?
Thanks.

:27 from a push off is very impressive 50, if you ask me, considering you are only two months on.
I've been at it for almost a year and a half and my best 50 was :35.4 from a dive. But then, I'm 42 and had spent several years sitting on my rear end.
In one year, I cut my 100 from about 1:45 to 1:22. But I've had a devil of a time getting it lower than that. I'd be thrilled to do one that was under 1:15.
