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'm not whining. Or angry, lol. That's my abrasive east coast personality. ;) I just think it's rather silly to live in or dwell on the past. But if it rocks your boat, go right ahead. :)
Seems like a pretty judgemental attitude.
Maybe comparing to teenage years is an interesting ruler to measure things for some people. It think it is an interesting physiological issue at the least. The OP didn't say he would be disappointed if he couldn't match his high school times. It doesn't mean he is living or dwelling in the past either.
