I ran across the 2005-2008 Motivational Times on the USA Swimming web site:
Top 16 based times
Percentile based times
Has there ever been an effort to produce some sort of motivational time standards for masters swimmers?
I would love to see something like this.
As my situation stands, I competed (sort of), my freshmen year in High school, but my primary focus was diving. Since then I did a short masters swimming stint in St. Petersburg, FL until I moved, but didn't get a chance to compete.
I have a feeling I'm terribly slow, but I don't have any idea what is slow for my level of training, age, and time in the pool etc... I would love to have times to shoot for that are not too over my head, like nationals times, or looking at high school records etc...
I know I tend to push myself a bit more through competition, and since my area has very few meets (though I'm thinking of entering a meet in May here in OKC), it would be nice to have something to look at for motivation on more of a regular basis.
great idea!
