Just an update on my improvement after taking up swimming a year and half ago. These are my times for the SCY meets I've done:
DATE 50 100 200
4//2/06 30.28 1:10.24 -
4/30/06 28.70 1:08.76 2:56.98
1/21/07 26.45 1:04.00 2:31.39
I have a meet in March where the 100 is the first event, so I will try real hard to get under a minute. That is my goal and it will be tough. At the most recent meet, the 100 was last and I was tired from the 200 and 50. I also need to get more proficient at turns.
I just hope I can maintain a good progression. I remember from running, it took about three years of very hard work for my times to start leveling off. I figure if it holds for swimming I have another 18 months before imrovements start to slow down.
I'm so glad I discovered swimming. It has gotten me past my retirement from running. I initially did not like swimming too much, but it is growing on me. This forum has helped alot.

Congrats on your progress!:applaud: :applaud:
As a former runner I can relate. I started swimming as a 48 y.o. after giving up running when I was 35. It was a struggle at first, but now it's become a bit of an obsession.
I hope you get your :59. Use the 1st 25 to build your speed, do the middle 50 at near top speed, then drive off the final turn and give it all you got. If you ever ran the 400, the strategy is very similiar. You'll do it.
