Hi Everyone! I am just getting back into swimming after 9 years. I swam from age 7-17. Please visit my blog at http://swimagain.blogspot.com for a more detailed intro.
I swam high school and club team until I was 18. My last official race was my signature event, the 500 yard freestyle. I went exactly 5:00.36, never able to break the 5 minute mark.
I am 24 now and could probably pull out about a 5:35.00 on a normal day, a bit faster on a "good" day. I still have it in my mind to break the 5 mark, no matter what. I took about a solid 5 years off (basically all of college) and have been back in the mix for about a year.
More power to you for looking to improve your times post "age group"! I look forward to swimming my sub-5 at Clovis Nationals in 09, and bext of luck with training and meeting your goal too!
