So I am new to Masters. Swam in HS and barely in college before getting burnt out. It has been about 10 years since then. I am 32 now.
I have been practicing for about 6 weeks for 3-4 evenings a week, and about 3000-3500 yrds per workout.
My high school personal best in the 50Y Free was 21.53. After only 2 weeks of workout, I did about 27-ish and in my recent meet this weekend, I went 25.41, so I have already improved somewhat, but I think getting down to 21s may take some time.
So I was just curious if anyone else had a similar story, how long did it take to get back to your HS times, if it was even possible for you? Years? Many Years?

So my point is that my biggest improvement occurred between my 1st and 2nd year after resuming swimming.
Me too. Although I am still improving -- at the moment. I'm not near my college times in anything but maybe 50s though.
24 years off. Was in good shape, but not swimming shape, when I started back in masters. Be patient. Work on technique.
