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:
Charlotte Davis has 101 USMS Top Ten times and 11 world records and she never swam in high school. She quit competitive swimming at age 13 to compete in synchro. PNA's Wet Set newsletter just did a story about her last month: www.swimpna.org/.../2011_03_Wet.pdf
Of the people who have posted in this thread I've seen both poolraat and cheakamus swim in person. Both these guy have nice, efficient strokes and when they're in the water they "look like swimmers." I think that's the key. Unless you've got good technique you aren't going to swim fast.
