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 :)

We are probably pretty close then for a 100 free. I had my first meet in 15 years and after 7 weeks training I managed these times:
50 Fly- 27.63
50 Back- 28.78
50 ***- 34.79
50 Free- 24.94
100 IM- 1:05.23
I was the Dynamo Pentathlon and I did the short format rather than the 100's and 200 IM. I just needed a baseline. I don't plan on doing alot of 50's going forward and I never WAS and never really want to be a sprinter. I just need to work more training and the little things. Next meet I'll step up to 100's and 200's, then I'll REALLY be hurtin!:toohurt:
