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 am one of a lot of swimmers who can do pull sets (with a pull buoy) at about the same speed as I can swim, (actually a little slower but I figure I lose some on the turns so it comes out fairly even.) So it works best for me to hold off on the furious flutter kick until very late in the race --- too energy expensive to employ early on.
