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 first broke a minute about 52 years ago and the last time I did it was over 40 years ago. But now life has once again allowed me to get back in the pool on a regular basis and I'm loving it. Can only handle about 1200 yards/workout about 3 times/week over the last couple months and my best workout 100 was about 1:23 (from a push, grab turns, floppy cotton surf trunks), but my goal is to break a minute by the end of summer. After reading these very informative posts I guess my typical warmup of driving to the pool with the heater on will have to be ramped up. And the cool down is a totally new idea --- sounds like it should help lessen the next day pain and soreness. Thanks all.
