Can we really go back in time??

Is it possible to now - 30 years later - to do times that you were doing in HS or maybe even better? In HS I was doing: .26 sec in 50 free .32 sec. 50 back 1:00 in 100 free Currently: 30 in 50 free 35 in 50 back 1:08 in 100 free I would say it depends on what level one was back then. Somebody could have been a mediocre young swimmer, laid off for 10 or 20 years, got back in and learned to do it properly and worked hard. But I don't think a World-Class swimmer could be better at 50 or 60 than he was at 19-24 It's all relative.
