You're not a sprinter and you're not a pure distance swimmer. Your 50's & 1500's aren't as great as your 200's, 400's, & 500's. Your 100's aren't shabby. Let the D Divas take those 800's, 1000's, 1500's & 1650's. You're caught in the middle. You've got OK speed, but you can do those longer sets that make pure sprinters ill. You're well conditioned and tend to do well with back to back events. You're in great company, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are middle distance swimmers who have excellent 100's but not so great 50's. Man you can train.
This is the middle distance lane. Don't get lapped.

I had heard of these non-standard records being kept by the Australian Masters, but I didn't know whether those events were regularly contested ...
Hard to say. On the one hand, casually looking at a few of the 2009 meets, it's clear that not every event is contested in every meet. On the other, many of the records in the longer stroke events were set in 2009, so the events were contested somewhere.
