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 look at it from a different perspective. a- I'm a man b_ I'm 65 now (couch potato and heavy smoker till 2002) c- My best 50m (LCM, naturally) Free of 45 years ago, 27.2 is what I have been watching, these days on the first 50 of women't 400s. I like to think that a-, b- and c- above make me feel OK with myself. Two years ago I did 35.16?. This February a 36.15 (after an extruded disc preceded by a fractured rib), so I'm hoping tht nex year i'll be able to keep out last September's wheelchair (if I manage to stay out of the pinwood box. Actually it'll be jars for me. I'm willing my body for the parts they can use, the rest for scientific reasearch and whatever's left-over, to be reheated and onto the petfood factory (dogs not catcs.)
