I'm kinda nervous I am swimming my first meet in 7 years tomorrow. I'm 26, swam from when I was 9 to end of high school, sparingly since. My last meet was freshman year of college (intramural meet). I am swimming 50y and 100y free. I used to swim about 25 secs on the 50 and 55 secs on the 100. I'm hoping to beat those times. Who knows though...I'm 30 pounds heavier (mostly muscle) from weightlifting, changed my stroke completely to total immersion style a month ago, but have not had a chance to practice much (only 1-2x per week the last 6 weeks or so not doing much yardage). I'll let you know how I do :)
I swim with Germantown Masters at the Quince Orchard Swim & Tennis center in Gaithersburg. We also practice at the Germantown Indoor Swim Center.
I occasionally swim at the Montgomery Aquatic Center as it's 2 blocks from my work.
For back in the pool for only 6 weeks, those are VERY respectable times.
Daveindc Unattached-PV 26.92 56.55 (29.63)
Not bad splitting there. Goal is to get the differential to approximately 2 seconds but 2.7 with the short training time you've had is very good. Maybe go out a little slower on the front? shoot for something in the low 27s and bring it home in low 29?
Just to compare here's my latest 100:
24.53/27.52/52.15 (23.18 50 time) - that was with a horrible 3rd turn. So you can see, I have a similar issue as I take the front 50 out a little too hard and die a little too much on the back.
