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 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.
haha well done! yeah I took up swimming 8 years ago at 33, not knowing that swim workouts even existed (but was taught to swim as a baby). Got a 1.07 last year wearing the $20 Finis almost outlawed "tech" suit. There's no way that'll every happen again :)))
