A non-scientific survey on masters swimming experience(s). If you would like to participate, please answer the following: :)
1. # years of masters swimming
2. age started masters swimming
3. # years of age group experience, if applicable
4. age started age group swimming, if applicable
5. best masters event
6. favorite masters event
7. most hated masters event
I guess I'll go first:
1. 1 year
2. 44 years old
3. 9 years experience, including some collegiate/abrupt halt due to rotator cuff
4. 11 years old (year round stuff)
5. 50 back
6. 50 fly/100 IM
7. 1500/distance free (I hate it even more than breaststroke)
If anyone really cares:
1. 25 years of Masters swimming
2. 29 years of age
3. Swam high school and college but never year round
4. 30 - Swam some USA Swimming meets up to about age 37
5. Breaststroke, distance free
6. When I was competing more 200 Breaststroke (just now getting back to it as the kids are now off at college - swimming of course.)
7. Backstroke - my breaststroke 100 has always been 6-10 seconds faster than backstroke!
