I'm a 25 yr old female weighing 195 lbs, 5'5". I know I'm overweight and out of shape. I was a college athlete (softball) and a catcher, so I'm quite muscular, but a bit limpy from being out of shape.
I was just wondering if anyone else would be willing to give their height/weight/age so I can get an idea of what we all are like?
Excellent!
Since you're 21, your competition now is going to be hard--but not nearly as hard in the age groups above you (then it levels off a tiny bit when you reach dotage like me.)

A little less depressing is the ongoing Top Times for the year, which tend to include meets that aren't as competitive as nationals:

For the 100 yard free, for example, so far this year the top 20 swims reported to Top Times are:
