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 am as fast in spints as I was as an age grouper / high school swimmer. It's not that hard to do if you grow 4 more inches and gain some actual muscle mass. I graduated high school at 5'6'' weighing 135 lbs. I still can't get anywhere near my 500 time though.
