Just curious how many have started swimming over the age 40 and been able to get under 60 sec in the 100. If so, just how fast and after how many years training?
How about the 200 yd?
Looking to see what can be done for inspiration!!
yards or meters?
It's very difficult for a person who never swam to start at 40 and develop the ability to go under 1:00 in the 100 free
no swimmers go under 1:00 in the 200, but I think you were implying if a non swimmer could go under 2:00 in the 200
which is way more difficult because of fatigue,
the general rule of thumb to figure out a swimmers 200 time from a 100 time is to double the swimmers 100 time and add 10 seconds
ie if a swimmer goes 54.99 in the 100 free
54.99 + 54.99 + 10 = 1:59.99
so it's much harder for a swimmer to go under 2:00 in the 200 than 1:00 in the 100
most masters swimmers have some swimming back ground
summer league, age group, high school, college
how fast a person is now is a factor of
1) how good they were at their peak,
2) how many years they did not train
3) how out of shape and over weight they are,
4) how strong they are,
5) how old they are,
6) how good their technique is
7) how good the person was at other sports
8) how determined and mentally tough the swimmer is
9) how correctly the swimmer split their swim
what else
It would be very impressive to me if a person never swam,
started at 40 then went under 1:00 in the 100 yard free
ande
