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
Ande Rasmussen
50 scy free
1985 22 20.4
(25 - 29) 1991 28 20.5
(30 - 34) 1995 33 20.9
(35 - 39) can't find a time
(40 - 44) 2004 40 22.44
thanks in advance to for participating in this
I look forward to reading your replies
Ande
PS feel free to email them to me if you don't want to post them here

Good thing I haven't slowed down. I'm a whole .1 faster than I was at 12. :rofl: Oddly, I'm still ranked about the same now as I was then. Not sure what that says.
Kristina: Where's that 400 IM?
Cruise:
Where exactly are those breaststroke times? Surely, there is someone besides Jim doing breaststroke? I seem to recall a lot of loud pontificating and defending of honor from various breaststrokers... So far, we've mostly heard from a lot of sprinters.
Fortress:
I LOVE that new avatar! Is that your youngest?
400 IM? I NEVER swam it as a kid. I was a die hard sprinter as a kid. Nothing over a 100. And I only swam 200s (and the 500 FR a couple of times) after some major kicking and screaming. I swam 400 IM once as an adult and by some fluke ended up w/a top 10 in the world masters. (Not many people must have swam it that year.) :rofl: So, there's nothing to compare it to.
