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!!

As a new swimmer some 45 years ago, I couldn't do it. As an older swimmer now, I can't do it. But I did go a 1:01.63 for a 100 yd back? Is that close enough? My freestyle 100 was always around a 1:05 to 1:07. My backstroke was faster :dunno:. But of course not anymore so I do distance, I mean distance.
