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

I can think of 3 USMS Swimmers that have set USMS National records in both strokes off the top of my head. They are Ron Johnson (recently documented in the current US Masters Swimmer magazine) Ron Karnaugh, and Karlyn Pipes-Nelison. I am sure there are other masters out there in the last 35 years that could be put on this list as well. I agree that its rare but not an impossibility. I also think there are more swimmers that make the USMS National Top Ten but are not necessarly record breakers in these combinations but are less than with other stroke combinations.
Karlyn doesn't count - She sets records in everything. :banana:
She's pretty cool, though :D
