Breaking 1:00 in the 100 free SCY for the 1st time
Former Member
I'm interested in hearing from people that did it for the 1st time in their life as a Masters swimmer. Who is the oldest out there to accomplish this feat?
I'm 42 and went for a best of 101.xx for the 2nd season in a row. I think I am going to do it, maybe next year. But I know I am not getting younger.:frustrated:
I started swimming in 2008, aged 58, and at my first meet ever, in 2009, I went 1:08.xx in the hundred. The following year I went 1:10.xx, and this year I went 1:09.xx. Like you guys, I'd love to do a 100 in under a minute before I finally hang up my goggles. I know I've got a ways to go. The good news is that for someone who started so late, I'm still getting faster, whereas most of my comrades who grew up swimming age group and/or college can only decline.:D
