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

Har, har.
Does anyone find it strange that Jeff is amazing at both *** and back? I thought those were almost mutually exclusive strokes ...
No. We had this discusson last August and there is a swimmer like Jeff named David Lundberg. I provided the response of Jeff to another thread from last August.

Jeff Cummings response:
I wanted to meet him. I saw him as he was warming down from his 50 *** and I was warming up (about 15 minutes between our swims). That's the last I remember seeing him, though if he swam the IM and 50 back, we might have bumped into each other.
I hope to meet him soon to share our common oddity, and to meet someone I remember idolizing at a young age (and now find myself agonizing over his seemingly impossible short course records!).
