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!!
YES!!!!!!!
It took 3 1/2 years of hard work but I finally got under a minute today. It sure isn't easy! This forum has helped a great deal.
Went 59.3 today, so this is my progression so far:

Congratulations, Rob!!! This gives me hope. Nice drop from the spring. My not as fast, but similar progression:
1/06 1:09.87
3/06 1:08.94
5/06 1:04.07
4/07 1:03.87
7/07 1:02.22
3/08 1:01.39
Did you also swim the 50 at yesterday's meet? I would be interested in hearing your 50 time (if you swam it) and your split in the 100. Also, can you talk about your mental and strategic approach for this race?
