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:
my problem is that when I try to swim faster in these short events, I swim significantly less effecient, my amrs just move faster through the water, but I don't go forward faster. The last time I swam a 200scm I opened 1:01.8 less than one second from my "max", but I was laid back, just pushing through the water with control. .
I call that panic swimming and I do it often, too. I work with my coach a lot to not panic swim in practice so that I can relax more in a meet. It helped my last 1000 where I took 4 sec off the time and was totally relaxed the first 500.
