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'm curious about training for this too...
I swam it for the first time 2 days ago (I'm 44 and started competitive swimming at 41-42).
Results: 1:03.85 (29.56, 34.29)
I welcome feedback about my splits - i'm guessing I held back too much on the first 50 as my 50FR best is a 26.8. Even so, I felt my body hit a wall on the 3rd 25 - but then pushed through on the last 25 thinking I wanted to leave it all in the water at the end...
Sorry, Rtodd, I didn't break a minute this time... but I'll be back - I know I've got it in me!
