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!!

Hey Rob,
If you can get under a minute, a 200 in the teens is very likely.
You're in excellent shape, and have a long stroke. That's why I think you could easily go a :57.
But the 200 is a different kind of race. It's more stamina than it is sprint.
That's how all the college swimmers attack it.
But back to the 100...after watching that race again...
Your turns were sharp and you had good strong push offs.
Just keep working on a tight hand-over-hand ear squeezing streamline. That's where you'll beat the clock down a little more.
