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,
With the running background I think you might be going for high rest high quality training.
You could try 15 like this
5 on 1:50
5 on 1:45
5 on 1:40
or alternate 1 on 1:50, 1 on 1:45, 1 on 1:40 (4 or 5 times)
The tighter interval will be more work. As a matter of fact it might be down right uncomfortable.
But you'll start to try things like better turns and cleaner streamlines in an effort to swim more efficiently.
Becoming a time bandit is key. Think efficiency first and effort second.
That way when you do apply the effort, you'll be moving down the lanes clean and smooth.
