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:

Well, it was just my own theory and might very well be completely wrong. Yet I would ask what evidence you have to the contrary (races with minimal warm-ups with race times)? We are creatures of habit yet many of the practices that were once assumed to be truth were later proved wrong. I know I have seen some elite Masters swimmers race great times with minimal warm-ups.
The great thing about Masters is that we can do what we want. I think we know our own bodies and what will work for us. My workouts could very well vary to my benefit and increase dramatically in volume (if I had the time). If I was conditioned at a different level perhaps I would need a different warm-up.
