Women's 50 Free

My best time ever was 35.19 when I was about 15 (lol). I just read meet results from a sort-of-local short course meet; the two women in my 30-34 age group who swam it swam a 39 and a 44. Are those times pretty average, good, or slow for a 50 free in that age group? If I just started master's swimming again after a few years, is getting down to those times and below within a few months realistic? I'm not exactly sure what I swim now but I know it's nowhere near 35. I guess I should time it first? I learned to swim at age 39, am now 47, and can go about 32 in the 50. I consider myself slow compared to a lot of women in my age group I see. But, it is not about that anyway, just get in, work-out and see where it takes you. Personally I do not like the 50, because learning as an adult has made my starts and turns not as good, and it is all about starts and turns. I think as a kid, you tend to be more fearless, and I am somewhat tentative on starts....plus I SMACK half the time, ouch.
