has anyone gotten under 60 sec (100yd) as a new swimmer?

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!!

    I turned 50 two weeks ago. I swam in high school but did not swim in college. I started swimming 4 years ago. This spring I swam a 55.25 100 free. I fade quickly in longer races and have no idea what my 200 time would be. I think Ande's 10 sec rule would not apply. It would probably be a 15-20 second rule!
