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

200 back
age 16 2:11.19 (age group)
age 20 2:08ish (college)
18-24 2:12.54 (2005 SCY nats)
25-29 2:11.90 (2007 SCY nats)
(i didn't get to swim this much as a kiddo, but it's my fav event as a master swimmer.)
200 free
age 16 1:54.75 (HS)
age 20 1:56ish (college)
18-24 1:58.36 (2005 SCY nats)
25-29 1:58.07 (2007 SCY nats)
(i swam this all the dam time in college, but never tapered, so i think that's why my college best is slower than my best as a kid.)
taking the link posted earlier at face value, i have a legit shot, with hard work of course, to get back down to the 1:56ish range for my 200 free. if i hadn't breathed into my finish at nationals, i would have been 1:57high this year. :frustrated:
(at least i know what i need to work on between now and austin...)
