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!!
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
Ande,
I started swimming at 47 with no prior swimming background other than knowing how to swim from Red Cross, Boy Scouts etc. My goal was to do a 59 and attained that in June of 2005. Can't seem to get below that though, seem to be at 60-61 every time since.
BTW Thanks for posting the links to the Texas meet. One of our local swimmers (now at Ariz.) is there and we can follow his progress.
