New here so apologies if this is well-trodden territory, but I'm a 41 year old former age group swimmer. I was pretty good, not great but decided to quit swimming at 17 to pursue "other interests" in college. Basically, I just burned out.
Recently, I found myself back in the pool and have swum a few meets and really love it. My times have been pretty good but I wonder if I can ever do a lifetime best at this age? Anybody out there in their 40's or so continuing to kill it in the pool? What are my chances? So far I'm within 2 or 3 seconds of my best 100fr (:49+) and 100br (1:03).
I am 32 and 15 seconds off my lifetime best in my 200 LCM fly(2:28.59). I did a 2:13 at 18 and when I was 70 lbs lighter. If I can do that kind of time in a middle Linebacker's body, it is possible. Then again, when I was 70 lighter, I still sort of have a middle linebacker's build
