As good as you once were?

What are the odds of getting back to your high school or college times? I'm 40 and just got back into it 7 months ago. I was an age group swimmer from 9yrs old till 18yrs old. Right now my freestyle is off about a second per 50yd. My 100yd *** was my specialty in high school and I am still about 5 seconds off that time... although I don't swim it nearly enough in practice. How far off is everyone else off? Is there hope of being as fast as you were as a teenager?

    I have never understood why this was of any importance ... Just be a masters swimmer ... I'm close in the 50s, I guess. It is very important!!! It is the essence of competition. It is why we are in the pool twice a day swimming our a$$e$ off. :2cents:
