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

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

Hmmm....let's see what I can remember from my childhood. When I was a kid I hated swimming anything over a 100/200. Now I'm not crazy about swimming anything shorter than 500 free/400 IM. Even the mile in open water feels like a sprint these days!
100 Back SCY
college-1998: 1:00
18-24: 1:08.16
25-19: 1:07.22
200 Back SCY
college-1998: 2:10
18-24: 2:29.46
25-29: 2:20.43
Goal for 30-34: 2:10
400 IM SCY
not sure about high school/college but I bet it was around 4:45ish
Zones 2005: 5:21.14
Zones 2006: 5:04.78
Goal for 30-34: 4:45
And a little open water for fun...
Chesapeake Bay 4.4 mile swim:
1990 (13 years old): 2:03
2000 (23 years old): 2:29
2001 (24 years old): 1:59
Goal for 2007: 1:45 or better
