Hi usms swim friends,
I'm working on a new swim faster faster article and I wanted to gather a little data first
here's my questions:
In your 2 or 3 best events
what are your lifetime best times?
how old were you when you swam them?
what year was that?
what are your best times in those events for each masters age group you've been in?
here's an example of what I'm looking for

100 Fly SCY

500 FR SCY

5:23.35 33 yrs old (2006)
50 BR SCY

200 IM
2:11.0 18 yrs old
2:18.58 33 yrs old (2006) - way off I know :rofl:
One interesting thing is that I've never tapered for a masters meet. At most, I've taken a day off before a meet. I'm going to try tapering in August for LC Nationals. (I hate tapering as I go bonkers w/ too much energy and I like swimming for fitness and hate to miss practices which I find to be as fun as meets).
This is pretty neat seeing where everyone is and was. Looks like we're close to our best times even 10, 20 and more years out!! Cool!
