One day this week during a repeat set, my best time for one of the 100's was 1:08 with fins (short course yards). I am in the 40-44 age group female. I have been swimming for about 6 months (before that was high school many years ago). Is anyone else out there this slow or am I the only one of you that isn't a former high school elite swimmer. So many of you have fast times-I'm impressed!

I got back in the water this past September also. I hadn't swam in over 9 years, but I certainly wouldn't use fins for the majority of the practice. I coach a team and I wouldn't suggest that they wear fins for that long either. Personally, I don't even like swimming with fins because of the way the water feels. I only use them for kicking and ocassional swimming.
Your best bet is to just swim. Don't worry about keeping up!
