Thinking back on your swimming history what were some of the milestones that you aimed for along the way? As examples, last year I set out to swim the 100 fly and this year the 200 fly. At the time just completing those events was a significant challenge. Now I'm working on getting under 30s for the 50m free, which for some reason seems to have more significance than going under 32, or under 31. Probably any round number seems significant, like under 1:00 for the 100m. What other goals or milestones do people see as having special significance? I'm interested in milestones at all levels. I'm hoping to construct a list that will give people goals to work towards beyond just improving their current times, probably with an emphasis on goals for beginners. Thanks!
Last year my goals were to do a 400 IM, 100 fly and 1000 free. I started swimming at age 38, and am now 43, so having completed these events is a good accomplishment for me. Hmmmmm, should I try 200 fly? I can swim them in practice, but not sure anyone would have patience to wait for me to swim it in a meet!
