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?

This is a great thread. I am back in after 20 years and I am finally to the point where I am beginning to do more structured workouts. Considering I'm much heavier (I won't say how much LOL) than I was when I had my best times (when I was about 14 ish) I'm doing pretty well. I've dropped 8 seconds on my 50yd free in a month. I'll have to report back after a couple of more months. I'm hoping to join a team after the first of the year.
