life time best times and best times in each age group

Fun thread. I swam age group from the ages 12-14, so most of my age group times are as a 14 year old. All times are scy. 50 Free Age Group 28.27 High School 28.2? 19-24 27.79 25-29 27.77 30-34 27.64 100 Free Age Group 1:03.17 High School 1:03.? 19-24 1:02.71 25-29 1:01.79 30-34 1:00.62 50 *** Age Group supposedly split a 35.? on a relay as a 13 year old 19-24 36.22 25-29 36.88 30-34 36.23 100 *** Age Group 1:20.18 High School 1:20.54 19-24 1:18.80 25-29 1:24.82 30-34 1:23.75 Free is improving, *** is in a decline (though I was shocked by that 50 last spring.) Any guesses as to what age my knees started to go??? :)

I swam in college and have swum Masters continuously since age 25,but today at 60 I swam a lifetime best.There are some caveats:it was in the LCM 200 fly(which I didn't swim at all until my 40s and just started training for it the past few yr) and I was wearing a LZR,but prior best time 3:04 at Worlds in 2006 and today-2:58.82(yes that's a 6 sec drop.)

Wow, way to go, Allen. What a thrill! And thanks for reviving this. It makes me feel pretty good, because I got to go back and review my data. 100 SCY backstroke PR: 1:03.1 (1983, 15) 25-29: 1:13.78 (1997, 29) 30-34: 1:10.75 (1998, 30) 35-39: apparently I didn't swim it (???); I did mostly open water racing the last few years.40-44: 1:05.88 (2008, 40) 200 SCY backstroke PR: ???

Paul Also, my best race ever was a 20.90 in a relay lead off. First and only time I ever broke 21 in 50y free. Best I ever did in an individual race was 21.26. One of the most frustrating things from my age group career. New Masters PBs. Still in the 40-44 AG. 2009 - 50 Free (SCY) - 22.92 2008 - 100 Free (SCM) - 59.17 2009 - 50 Fly (SCM) - 28.83
