  • Yes Jeff is amazing. As to mine,I'm listing only LCM as I don't have any SCM times before age 37 and I don't like SCY. I will say my best 100 SCY *** was done at age 32,not in college. I am also listing only breaststroke as it's all I can remember(or care about) 25-29 100 BR-1:14.05 200BR 2:48.08 30-34 50 BR-32.8 100 BR-1:13.88 200BR 2:45.05 35-39 50 BR-33.63 100 BR-1:14.65 200 BR 2:45.25 40-44 50 BR-33.53 100BR-1:14.85 200 BR-2:47.02 45-49 50 BR-33.28 100 BR-1:15.33 200 BR-2:49.64 50-54 50 BR-33.85 100 BR-1:17.09 200BR-2:52.07 55-59 50 BR-34:66 100BR-1:17.08 200 BR-2:52.11 As you can see I think I should be able to drop my 50 time. Here is my 60-64 update 50 BR-35.10 100 BR- 1:16.83(shiny suit time,best Jammer time is 1:17.50.) 200 BR-2:50.44(best time in 15 yr.) I still think my 50 should be faster than it is. Oh well ,maybe as I get older I get better at longer events relative to shorter.
