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've been lurking here for quite some time, and been thinking about my times, so this thread gave me a chance to finally register and join the discussion
I swam primarily backstroke and freestyle, 100 SCY
1998 (age 14)
50 FR: 23.0x
100 FR: 49.7x
100 BK: 54.53
I quit after the meet where I posted these times, so I'm 23 now and embroiled in graduate school, got back into swimming a month ago to try to lose the weight. I can't join my college's team so I guess that qualifies me to post on this forum, even though I'm just working out by myself in the pool and not affiliated with any team. Either way just reading the boards has been quite helpful.
Times now: (23, SCY, hand timed while wearing board shorts!)
50 FR: 27.8 off a push
100 BK: 1:01.3
Maybe there's hope for me in a couple months :)
