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?

Thanks for the comments. I'm having a lot of fun regardless and it won't break my heart if I don't go as fast as high school. I just enjoy stats and crunching numbers... this is just a fun exercise. I'll be interested to see what happens when I get a full year under my belt.
Honestly coming back to this sport has been like regaining a piece of myself I had forgotten about. This is the best life long sport there is. Having my kids get to see me swim in a meet was priceless.
