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 think I took 3 breathes down, and 3 breathes back on my first 50. Please tell me if that was enough, as I really do not know.
my second 50 hurt, but I could have pushed faster on the 3rd 25 than I did; I was saving for the last 25 which hurt worse but I laid everything I had out for it.
A factor I forgot to mention, was this was my 5th and last race, and I was starting to tire overall...I imagine that would impact a 100?
I think I will keep working on conditioning, but also try taking my next one out faster, and see how it goes - hopefully, I can be more rested for it as well.
Does this seem like a fair plan?
Should I be doing pace work, on intervals with 100's, or maybe 150's -200's? Working on my 200 is another current goal, so training for it should help my 100?
