What is your best 100m swim time in a 25 meter pool? (not a trick question) : )
I’ll play. In my second showing/swim meet (at age 46) last year, i went 1:01.26
In college I went a 55 something. Right now, I could probably manage 1:30
1:29. I’m slow and have only been swimming for 6 months.
Back in the days 56. 37, now probably 1.10
Just started swimming a few years ago, on my own. Best I can do is a 25m pool is 1:23 w open turns.
Posted several IM splits in 1h01 and 70.3’s in 29:xx to give it perspective.
I find swimming very frustrating…
Lifetime. 53.5
Since i turned 40 1:01
This year 1:08 from a push in practice (today)
I just did 1:10 LCM, so I dunno, 1:08ish maybe? Not much for the sprinting. My first 50 in the 100 was the same speed as my first 50 in the 400!!
59:xx in high school
.
Timed today: 1:36 That’s fucking FLYING for me, btw. 
goes back in the slow box
1:27
.
1:06 last October…
and now for my whiney excuse…
it was a race, off the blocks, but all my swim meets start with the distance event - 500/800/1000/1500/1650. So, I’m always a bit fatigued when it comes to these sprints. Besides, I’m not a terribly good sprinter. Far better with some distance.
54.86 waaaaayyyy back when I pretended to be a swimmer.
1:16.7 (Dec. 14, 2007 - New England SCM championships at BU)
no one will ever accuse me of being a sprinter. I may only be able to do a 1:16 for a 100m free but my 1500m time from that same meet was 20:44 (~1:20/100m)
currently in that type of shape or better.
In college I went a 55 something. Right now, I could probably manage 1:30
I’m in that ballpark ~ 57ish back in the day (mid/late 80s); now I can do 1:25-1:30 from a push during a regular workout if I rest up for a bit and try to kill a 1-peat, so I’ll say 1:20 in a hypothetical race from a dive… maybe.
When I swam 100 yards in college I swam 46.8, which probably converts to around 52 in SCM. Recently at the age of 48 I swam 100 SCM in 58.2 – not blazing fast, but I’m doing my best.
Lots of work on technique and new training methodologies mean you don’t have to drop off as much as you would think. It’s the old, “wish I knew then what I know now” type of thing…
Yup. Youth is wasted on the young.
51 and change.
Somehow I doubt it but nice try.
