Have you improved over time? I'm talking actual time improvements compared to lifetime bests.
I consistently swam sporadically for several years. Get it?
For the past 9 months I have been training and racing fairly consistently and I finally feel like I'm on the verge of actually improving.
I have swam a number of best times in off events. I have not bested any of my big ones.
What has your experience been? I'm talking about lifetime bests.
I'm 33. I swam DIII in college. so, I was ok but not great or anything.
I'm mainly interested in your actual experience. Things that have actually happened. Rather than what is supposed to happen.

cool guys/gals, thanks.
My life time best in the 100 freestyle is a 48.93 (scy). That was about 15 years ago. I went 50.05 in January. I'm not in nearly as good of shape as I was back then. But I kick much, much faster now. And, i also kick and pull at the same time. Which, ya know, makes a big difference.
I swam best times in 100IM, 100BA, 100Fly, and I'm about half a second from besting my 100 BR.
I train a total of about 5 hours per week including dryland. I used to train like 20 hours per week.
I posted this thread because I'm curious about the boundaries of aging. I hope more people offer a little of their current story.
