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
Sometimes. This year I turned 40 and last weekend I swam a 5:11 500 free. My best time in high school/college was a 5:32. Granted I seldom swam the 500 back then as I was a sprinter. What I've found is my distance seems to be getting faster and my sprints slower but then again I swam a 49.85 100 free last weekend and thats my fastest since 2000. So, who really knows!
