With all the super fast times being slung around on this board, I have to wonder how long it took people to get there.
If you are a reborn swimmer, how long did it take you to get close (within say 5 seconds on a 100, 2-3 seconds on a 50) to your previous best times?
Did it take two a day or 2 hour a day swimming to get close to college/age group times again? Or is it just a matter of remembering how to swim fast and being dedicated with the time you do have?
Any advice for those re-joining the swimming ranks and are excited to compete but still stuck waaay behind former best times (like 20 seconds in a 100 and 8 seconds in a 50) and getting depressed coming in last in their age group?
How do you do this? You must have some remarkable physiology going on there ... You didn't say, but I assume you were in super shape between college and 46?
I was heavily into cycling (so aerobic capacity was decent) but I think the major reason can be attributed to year-round swimming. I never worked out continuously in HS or college.
