Hey guys, thread below on attaining a 24s 50m free got me wondering on time ranges for 50m freestyle.
Amongst masters swimmers, can you give me the rough ranges for what is considered beginner, decent/competitive, and top range? (Age is 30, if it helps). Broad ranges are fine.
Even though I'm not training for the clock, I realized I'm operating in a vacuum in this regard and it'd be very interesting to see.
Thanks!
Rather than A, AA, meet, non meet, etc. in this case, how about just personal experience/opinion? 30 year old jumps in the pool. What would make sense to you for their 50m freestyle, given a beginner, a seasoned swimmer, and someone in top shape (male?) Broad ranges are fine here.
I'm going for those by-now subconscious classifications you probably have in your mind ("oh, 45 secs, beginner"..."37? not bad")
That sort of thing. This is by no means intended to be exhaustive or scientifically sound :)
