When I swam in HS 27yrs ago, girls my age were swimming 100yd free in just under 59.0. Now I look at HS times and I'm blown away on how fast they are swimming and at younger ages.
What has changed?

It is all time related we had great swimmers for our day but techniques are better, the kids get more time in the pool.
When we swam everyone tried to swim like Johnny W - Tarzan, now everyone tries to swim like Thorpe, Hacket or Phelps.
