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:

  • 1:10 is the new 1:00 I completely agree! I reached that milestone with a 1:08.99 in March. As a non high school / non college / completely inactive couch potato until age 30 swimmer, I would love to break the 1:00 mark or do something top-10ish before age catches up, but I'll also be happy to just keep swimming until my 70's. Although it will be 2050 by then and maybe 70-year-old women will be breaking 1:00 on a regular basis.
