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!!

    Lightning - I think most here will say you went out too slow. However your gap between the two splits was more than the usual 2-3 secs. So you ran out of steam on the second 50. If you had gone out in a 28.5 your 2nd 50 would likely have been worse. Might have been faster but only you know for sure how painful the 2nd 50 was. Did you breathe enough the first 50?
