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?

Do not use the royal "we." It's not why I train and compete. I don't give a toss if I beat my high school times. The "essence" of competition for me is beating the current competition and/or beating my prior masters times.
In fact, it's hard to even compare times accurately if (like me) one is wearing fancy tech suits now and wasn't in high school.
Ok i'll use the word "you"
Quit whining...Why are you so angry?
It is fun to compete against your PB's whether they were last week or in High School.
