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?
I don't know, are kids really that much faster now? I think if you go back far enough then, yes, they are. But I swam in high school 20 years ago and I think my times would put me pretty close to where they did at that time. Now if you go back 40 years I'm sure it's a different story.
