Have you improved?

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.

    Yes, I have improved, and it feels great. How? General health feels better, I have more energy, slimmer waistline. My 100 pace has dropped to a new comfort level during practice. Just swam 30 100's today and it felt good. I had no times to compare that aren't from 1994. I don't recall my sets then, but I have swum the 50, 100, 200, 1650, 1-hour postal in the past 6 months. In general, I feel a sense of improvement.
