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've only been swimming "with purpose" for about 2 years after swimming in a perfunctory way for about 30 years. I don't think I've hit the wall yet as far as how fast I'm going to go as a masters swimmer. I'm still improving my times by a pretty fair amount in most of my events. Will I ever hit my HS/College times?
In freestyle, yes, I'm pretty certain that I will...in fact it's a goal - and a good one for me.
In backstroke? Never! But I'm still taking time off so I'm happy with that!
I don't even remember my old fly or *** times...
