Breaking 1:00 in the 100 free SCY for the 1st time

I was 15 when I went under 1:00 in the 100 yard freestyle for the first time which is fairly late for age group swimmers. Some 9 & 10 year olds, many 11 & 12 year olds and most 13 & 14 year olds can do it. If you REALLY want to accomplish going under 1:00 in the 100 yard freestyle for the first time, in addition to hearing from people who did it as Masters, I suggest you examine, how you: 1) have trained in the past few years & recently, vs 2) need to train to accomplish your goal.
