My sport is swimming. 4 years of swimming. I think my best 50 time was a 26.high and my best 100 time was probably a 1:03 or something. Yeah, my best sport is swimming and I'm not even that great at it. But I can probably outswim 99.5% of 2+2rs and 95% of the population.

Is that in yards or meters? In high school i could swim the 50 in about 22 seconds, and the 100 in 51. This was in yards, but i was also pretty good at swimming [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

And oh yea, now i'm 21 and fat [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I wish it was meters, but no, yards. Um...If you're swimming a 22 in HS you should probably have gotten a scholarship to college and or done some serious training and looked at the olympics.

Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly, but I'm pretty sure something like sub 26 or around 25 got you to States, and I'm sure a 22 would have taken you to Nationals.

All things being equal, that would mean that 10% of the population are 2+2ers...

Golf. 8 handicap.

Used to be basketball. Believe me young fellers, your knees will one day pay for all those stutter steps, jump stops and rebounds.

True, but i think I was basing this on the fact that I've sen some posts before where people posted times. You're absolutely right though, I could probably outswim more than that percentage.

I did get scholarship offers, but health problems stopped me from going any further. I was rounding, i never got close to 22.0, best time was probably like 22.5. A time of 25 wouldn't even be close to qualifying for state, but i swam in Florida, one of the most competitive states for swimming, so maybe it is different. I would say you need to break 23 to qualify for states.
